Cell Yell: Thanks for (Not) Sharing By: Eric A.Taub

Many people would agree about the behavoir of cell phones users in public. The writer in this article observes the repetition of behaviors when people answer their cell phones. Eric stated that most people answer their phones publicly because they want to see the eavsdroppers who invade on their phone call. Some people love when others hear their personal bussiness, it gives them something to talk about amongst themselves. He also went on to say that that most people have something called telecredibility. Those who have telecredibility are known to be very important  and it gives them a self confidence  when someone is constantly calling them every second. When people noticed someone who has telecredibility they are convinced that, that person is somewhat important.

Carol Page a Boston public relations consultant is the founder of a website called cellmanners.com. This site has recruited three cell spies in three cities in America to report on bad celluar behavior. They get all this good info and place it on their website from answering phones in publice squares and restauruants, to driving while texting. The webstite displays all the do's and dont's on cellular behavoir. This webstie used to benefit the behavior of cellular users across the nation to make a more healther cellular usuage environment.

The website is good, but i don't think it will prevent somebody from having a conversation in public. A cell phone has become an addiction that is hard to break free of. People are distracted left and right taking away massive time that could of been well spent on something else rather than answering their phones. I was on a job interview and the Supervisor stopped the interview and had a conversation with his girlfriend on what movie they were going to see that night. My mom likes to multitask,doing a million things at once talking on the phone,cooking,etc.Unfortunately the brain only focuses on one thing at a time. People are too distracted and the cellmanner methods won't have any affect.


 All this technology is taking away the life of people. Not too many kids go outside and play because of a video game or Facebook, or any website the internet has to offer. Kid's do not know what reality is anymore,instead it's seen on tv,or whatever the social networking tells them what it is. Society is falling apart by the second all due to what we view on a screen. Television promotes more violence and sex and that's what is polluting the minds of the youth. Crime rates and pregnancy are a trend setter oppose to comic book hero's and the disney channel. The children's stations are even becoming too racy and explicit for children to view. It's a complete disaster now and what will be the ending result of our new fashion of  life with tehchnology?
