Keep Your Conversation to Yourself
Here in the developed west nearly everyone now has a moble phone. But it should be remembered that around half of the world’s population have never made or received a telephone call.
This fact highlights the technological gap that exists between the developing countries and those lucky enough to have affordable access to modern communication technology.
But many would argue that, while mobile phones can be enormously useful, they can also be incredibly irritating. Have you recently used any form of public transport?
On my routine journeys to and from London on the train I am forced to listen to various telephone conversations that would never have taken place if it wasn’t for mobile phones. On my homeward journey I regularly listen to people calling their partners just to tell them: ‘I’m on the train’. And every evening I have to listen to the same people making the same calls with the same useless message. What did they do before they had a mobile phone?
I’m also forced to listen to the inane conversations of teenagers that make no sense whatsoever. Often, they seem to be discussing their boring, empty lives or scathingly criticizing an alleged friend’s dress sense or discussing boyfriends in unflattering terms. In one conversation that a young lady chose to share with the occupants of a packed commuter train she cheerfully derided a young man’s sexual prowess with grizzly attention to detail. Everyone in the carriage was squirming in their seats with embarrassment as she proceeded to describe her experience, blow by blow.
Forcing other people to listen to one side of your telephone conversation is just one aspect of modern mobile phone use that is incredibly annoying. Another is those incredibly irritating and often far too loud ringtones that are supposed to sound like a popular tune but don’t.
We all need to be reminded of how lucky we are to even own mobile phones. They need to be used considerately and ideally they should never be provided to people who use them to loudly describe their sex lives.
