Mob Peeve

RUS = Are you serious?

It's rather concerning that parents are reduced to communicate to their children via text message. This video just shows how much mobile phones, and other mobile technology alike, have become a "normal" part of our lives. So shouldn’t instilling your children with good mobile manners be considered a part of “good parenting” in this modern technological world? Hope fully these parents watching this video are teaching their children responsible and manners on the use of mobile technology.  TTFN!

All you need:

• Consideration
• Common Sense

A few interesting figures from a survey done by Intel:

• 9 out 10 adults have a mobile etiquette pet peeve
• 63% said talking loudly on an Internet-enabled device in public as irritating
• Over 50% reports that they are annoyed by people who do not follow mobile etiquette rules in cafes and restaurants

Everyone of us has had the encounter with the social menace that talks on their mobile phone in a doctor's office waiting room. Traditionally a quiet and rather nervous place; we are forced to listen to a blabbering of some idiot. Mobile Karma commercial - by Kyocera

I know (many of us) are excited about the new Transformers 2 movie out today, but PLEASE remember to turn off your cell phone, and that means no texting too.  If I'm sitting next to you, I can see the screen light flickering and I hear your clicky-dee-clackin on your buttons.

Sometimes I wish all of us had this power.
