Do you Practice Proper Mobile Phone Etiquette?

Here in the west nearly everyone now has a mobile phone. But we all need to remember that around 50% of the worlds population have never received or made a telephone call.

This really highlights the technological gulf that exists between the developed countries and the developing countries.

But many people think that mobile phones are actually more irritating than they are useful. Have you recently used any form of public transport?

I have to take the train to and from London every day and I find myself forced to listen to mobile conversations that I would far rather not hear. 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. How did they manage before mobile phones?

I’m also often forced to listen to the conversations of teenagers who appear to speak a different language. Their conversations seem to be focused on their boring lives, the television programmes they’ve been watching or criticising their boyfriends. In one recent conversation a young lady loudly shared the details of a recent sexual experience with a detailed account of what took place. As she proceeded to describe exactly what had taken place everyone in the train compartment was cringing with embarassment.

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 people’s choice of annoyingly irritating ring tones and yet another is playing music loudly without consideration for others.

Everyone needs to be reminded of how lucky they are to own a mobile phone. Owning a mobile phone is not a god given right, it’s a privelige that should not be provided to people who use it to describe their sex lives, loudly.

If you have a mobile phone you will definitely want some affordable mobile phone insurance. Similarly, if you have a laptop computer it would be wise to spend a little on some laptop insurance. You can protect all of your valuable gadgets and gizmos including cameras, iPhones and games consoles with some very affordable gadget insurance.

Children too, have become hooked, for lack of a better term, to cellphones. They see their moms and dads clutching the coolest cellphone known to man and they want to have the same too; not only for its various applications but more so to show-off to their friends. It conveys some kind of statement for kids when they have the same stylish gadgets like everybody else.

SHOULD YOU ALLOW YOUR CHILD {TO OWN} A CELLPHONE?

What happens then when your child start to ask for a phone? Should you just concede without a second thought? There’s no doubt that young kids should really not be allowed to own a cellphone just yet. But for the older children, it totally depends on the parents’ judgment.

Cellphones are essential for communication and if you’re away most of the time and your children happen to be out too; with their peers or some school activity; getting in contact with them each time both parents and kids are apart is important. Cellular phones will definitely make this simpler for everyone.

In addition, cell phones can be very useful also to children in times of emergencies.

TRAINING CHILDREN TO BE RESPONSIBLE

One way to turn this cellphone ownership subject into something positive is training children how to be responsible cellphone owners. Setting parameters as to their usage is an essential element when considering giving kids their own cellphones. While listening to music and taking pictures may be some of the things that children want to be able to do with their cellphones; permitting them to browse the internet or chat without parental supervision should be something parents need to think twice about.

In this case, getting them a phone with only the bare essentials could be the answer. Also, giving these cellphones as rewards for doing well in class will teach children that they have to show good behavior in order to be allowed to have their own phones.

Finally, one way to also teach them about responsibility is training them to put aside allowance so they can buy their own prepaid loads; or both parents and children can split the cost of the phone. There are many ways for parents to get something positive from these tools.

Suffice it to say, it has evolved into your all-in-one communications accessory that can make life simpler for you particularly if you are forever on the road or are never stationary in a place for a long time.

PREVENT VIRUS ATTACKS IN THEIR TRACKS

Sadly, sophisticated and technologically-enhanced it may be; there is still no fool-proof way to maintain its mint condition for long; much less keep it running as smoothly as if it were new, for several years. There are several factors that can make any cellphone useless and worthless; not least of these is the common malady that often creeps up on computers and laptops – viruses.

In fact, the more sophisticated your cell phone, the more vulnerable it is to virus attacks if you’re not careful. But just as there are external elements that may immobilize your cellular phone; there are also steps we can do to stop these viruses from corrupting our cellphone systems. As with most anything, prevention is better than cure.

Having said this, it’s so much the wiser to have your cellular phone protected right away. Fortunately, there are already virus protection programs that are well-matched with cellphones so you should really check these out and have one installed before turning on your Bluetooth or browsing.

Also, find out the most recent viruses that could corrupt your cellphone – you may find a list of the most recent viruses online. Finally, never ever open anything in your email that you’re not familiar with. If the sender is unknown to you, it’s best to delete the file immediately.

This will help you get the most recent applicable security as well as give you a clearer picture of how to protect your phone from viruses that could corrupt your phone.

Okay, that could be just a bit of an overstatement but really, many people just can’t go through their days without having their useful and trustworthy cellphones nearby.  How many people do you know who get all worked-up and listless for the mere reason that they left their trusty cellphones at home?  They get alarmed, they feel perturbed and their day is just basically spoiled because their mobile phones are nowhere near them.

This kind of affliction – if you can call it that – affects a lot of people from all over the world, regardless of age, sex, culture or those belonging to any other demographic profile. 

Before cellphones came, there were beepers; before there were pagers, there were just the usual phones; and before there were phones, people communicated through telegraph and mails sent by post.

The most important advantage of cellular phones of course is that they have made communications anywhere in the world so quick that no matter the distance, everyone somehow managed to stay in each other’s lives – keeping updated with the most current events and basically just being in the loop.

Before cellphones came, everyone had to wait for days, even weeks to trade news via post.  Sure, one can always make a phone call but if someone is thousands of miles away; overseas phone calls can be pretty expensive.

Thanks to the cellphone technology, people get to exchange messages no matter how far apart they are from each other via SMS or Short Messaging System/Short Message Service – text messaging in more popular terms. 

Nowadays however, cellphones have gone far beyond text messaging and phone calls.  One by one, special features have been included to the regular cellphone to be able to give more services to the users. 

From calls and text messaging, camera features were included and then music players followed; internet capability soon followed suit; wireless internet connection came after; and then online chatting; sending and receiving electronic mails plus other online applications were all thrown in for good measure.

As if that wasn’t enough, people can now also view their favorite videos and movies; and also watch their favorite TV shows.  Suffice it to say, cellphones have developed from mere communications gadgets to total entertainment packages in a small and very compact portable box.

If you want to, you can read much more about cellphones online. You may for example want to visit the website Mobiltelefoner to learn more about the latest cellphones and the fantastic stuff they can do for you.
