Cell phones have come a long way, but have we? Society has grown accustomed to life's conveniences - cell phones, ATM's, online banking, and the list goes on. However, our etiquette surrounding the use of this technology has definitely changed. We've been taught never to eat with our mouths full, and to always say please and thank you, or to cover our mouth when we sneeze and to say "excuse me" when we need to pass. So why don't we know what manners to use when using cell phones? People drive and speak on their cell phones, students text each other during class, or they speak on the phone in the most inappropriate times. There is a time and a place to use a cell phone, yet few of us are clear as to what that is. What do you think? In this blog I would like you to not only explain your thoughts surrounding cell phone use and manners, but I would also like you to identify 5 rules that you think are necessary to follow when using cell phones. Happy typing!
