Anti Social Mobile Phones

To many of us in the developed western world it would appear that everyone and their dog now has a mobile phone. We should all be aware that around half of the worlds population will have never made or received a telephone call.

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

But there are plenty of people who believe that mobile phones are actually more of a scourge and not very 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. Ever evening on my way home from work on the train from London I have to listen to various people calling home to tell their partners that, surprise, surprise, they are on the train. And every day I have to listen to the same people making the same pointless calls, just because they can. What did they use before mobile phones, carrier pigeons?

I’m also forced to listen to the inane conversations of teenagers that make no sense whatsoever. More often than not they are criticising their boyfriends, talking about what they’ve seen on television or describing some aspect of their boring, empty lives. 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. As she proceeded to describe exactly what had taken place everyone in the train compartment was cringing with embarassment.

Being forced to listen to what should be private conversations is just one aspect of modern mobile phone use that is highly anti-social. Another is people who use their mobiles to play their music far too loudly without any thought for others who might not like hip hop music.

Everyone needs to be reminded of how lucky they are to own a mobile phone. They need to be used considerately and ideally they should never be provided to people who use them to loudly describe their sex lives.
