Keep Your Conversation to Yourself
Here in the west nearly everyone 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 many would argue that, while mobile phones can be enormously useful, they can also be incredibly irritating. Have you used a bus or a train lately?
I routinely travel by train to and from London and I’m forced to listen to various telephone conversations that, before the mobile phone revolution, would have never taken place. 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 do before they had a mobile phone?
I’m also forced to listen to the inane conversations of teenagers that make no sense whatsoever. 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. Everyone in the carriage was squirming in their seats with embarrassment as she proceeded to describe her experience, blow by blow.
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.
We all need to remember how lucky we are to even have mobile phones. People who use their mobile phones to describe their sex lives should be banned from owning them.
