Mobile phones and people ...

Many talk more loudly on phone at public places. Not only this, they play loud music on these phones. Although mobile hone is common, yet many cannot resist the temptation of making show of their phone.

We have been using mobile hones for a pretty long period. Now is the time to cultivate proper phone habits. Government us planning to give free phone to those below poverty lines. It is all the more important to use phones in a dignified manner.

This is so true! Even though we have been using mobile phones for such a long time, we have still not cultivated any proper etiquette of its usage. But then in India, talking loudly and generally being noisy, how much ever it may disturb others, is not considered wrong anywhere! :(

I agree that educating the masses about the advantages and disadvantages of mobile phone and also teaching them etiquette while using the phone should be seriously considered, since many a times it is becoming a nuisance with people talking while driving and holding up the entire traffic lane or suddenly stopping the vehicle with no signal to receive a call, and being the cause of dangerous accidents ..

This is a very dangerous menace that is fast increasing. In the past two years, in Pune alone, there were at least 5 - 7 instances where young college students were walking on railway tracks while either listening to music or talking to someone and did not hear an oncoming train, unfortunately were mowed down in pieces. Yet, we still hear of similar incidents! Aren't we ever going to learn to be responsible?

This is useless for people they must concentrate on other things as prices are raised these days. If they concentrated on that means many people will be thank ful for the government.

I agree with that, they can do better than providing people with mobile phones...We get to hear of drought and farmers death in so many villages because they are unable to pay back loans and the government wants to give a mobile phone in their hands :blink: :dry:

I guess that is a foregone conclusion ! B) Lets face it , most of us are addicted to many things these days , mobile phones,internet,TV ... :unsure:

But I have to agree....we can't stay at least a few moments away from it. We always keep it close to us...at least in the room where we are sitting!!!!

Main advantage of mobile is...we get personal calls through mobile and we are free to chat with our friends.... than land line

Sandhya what you said is exactly true. but it is good to keep away and in silent while sleeping. We should not hold it or keep under pillow while sleeping. It is really bad habit and due this it will disturb our sleep and health problems also occurs.

Thats really Tragic ! :( ... I see people constantly n the phone even when they come for a walk and from what I see they are actually not getting the maximum benefit of walking as an exercise since they walk slowly, at times sit down while talking . I never take the phone with me while I go walking , we dint have mobiles a few years ago and managed very well ...

Mobile phone has become a part of life.We can see mobile in everybody's hand.From small children to elder one every body carries mobile.But we should be very careful not to misuse it.Many school children died in accident because they were so busy in talking or listen music over phone that they forget who is at their back or in front.

somebody always messaging to their friends and relatives. They used to do very fast sms. :dry: :dry:

I feel that school children should not be allowed to carry mobile phones to schools.It is anyway banned within the school premises and class rooms , so whats the point in carrying it ? They can use it at home.Many parents think that they are being very mod , keeping with the time by providing young children a mobile even at the age of 6 7 years, which to me seems overdoing things.They fail to analyse and see the consequences...A person should start using a mobile phone only after he/she knows all about it !

From the age of 3 people are using mobile phones, which is not at all good. especially for teanagers.

I agree ! Unless it is absolutely essential it is better not to give a cell phone to students,since it might become a diversion.Another point is that the children may ,without their knowledge become victims of fraud through bad elements who are waiting for such an opportunity !

But students likes to play in mobilephones a lot. I heard from my neighbours son his friend took photo when teacher taught the lessons and caught by the teacher and punished.

Thats exactly what I meant ! In most schools children are not allowed to bring mobile phones into the class room and if they have , then they are asked to switch it off and keep it on the desk.If the rules are strictly imposed such things dont happen.Such incidents can happen with teenagers since they are still very immature but proper advise and guidance has to be given by both the school authorities and parents !

Children using mobile will divert them from studies. they keep on playing games and stop studying. they get addicted to the games they play. and 24 hours they keep on playing. they wont even spend time with their parents also. always they will be engaged in playing games

That day no one from class revealed that who did this. All teachers seared the bags of all students and catch the student who did this. severe actions of school authorities will prevent the happenings like that.

More than severe action like physical punishment which is what most schools believe in,the boy should be made to realise his mistake and also realise why it is not accepted ,only then will he not repeat it. Otherwise teenagers take it as a challenge and try to beat the system !!

Mobiles have become an integral part of everyone's life. Life will come to a stand still if mobiles without them. Though children spending too much time on their mobile phones playing games, texting and chatting is a matter of serious concern.
