Mobile Phones - Making the world a smaller place.

By Tyler J L Neill

The world has become a much smaller place, thanks to the internet and cell phones. Carrying a cell phone means that you can be in contact with anyone at anytime. Is this a good thing? Well, it has its advantages and disadvantages. Cell phones are a good way to keep in touch with friends and family, but they have a habit of going off at certain times, like when your sleeping, eating, showering etc.

People expecting you to be available all the time may be annoying. Cell phone calls follow you everywhere you go from, work, play, eating and more, there is just no way of getting away from it. Even during nighttime when you want to rest, cell phones continue to ring and annoy you. If it is important, no problem but if it is unimportant, why do you need to be bothered so late.

Cell phones are everywhere. Just walk down your local main street and you will see many people talking on them. They have become part of everday life. We use them for contacting friends and family, we use them for ordering pizzas, we have just grown so use to them that they are part of our everyday life and we cannot do without them now. No matter where you are now in the world, you can be contacted on your cell phone.

The concept of the cell phone is to contact and be contacted. But what we seem to forget, is that when we are in situations like a business meeting, wedding, funeral etc someone always forgets to turn them off, and in situations like these, this is when they should be turned off. If you find yourself in a situation like this, a cell phone gos off near you, your instinct is to check to see if it is yours, and the one whose phone it is, is left looking like an idiot. Imagine how you would feel if your phone went off in one of these situations. Remember to turn it off, or at least put it on silent, when you find yourself ina situation like this.

When traveling and if you are on-board an aircraft, you will be required to turn off your phone. This is because electronics devices may interfere with the aircrafts avionics. Thus, it is a requirement to turn of your phone for safety reasons. However, for extremely long flights, airline companies allow cell phone usage at a certain time, if you really need to make a phone call, use this time allotted if necessary.

Why do people never seem to turn the cell phones off before the enter a place of worshipp for example? In my local church, not a week gos by when someones phone doesnt go off. It happens each and every week, and you would think by now they would have learned to switch them off, as you never know the moment when your phone will ring.

Mobile phones or Cell phones depending on where you live in the world, have become part of everday life, to the extent that we cannot be without them. We are constantly changing our phones to the latest models, and they have beome big business for people and firms who sell them.
