PART 2
Read the text.
Can’t it wait until later?

Once again I am interrupted when I hear a noisy song coming from a girl’s Smartphone. She
opens her bag, picks up her phone and answers, “Hello? Yeah, I’ll be home in about an hour...
No, I don’t feel like cooking. Maybe I’ll pick up some pizza on the way. I’ve gotta go. See you
soon.” Why the call about dinner was so important, I do not know.
Mobile phones (or Smartphones) – who doesn’t have one? Whether used for safety reasons
or social purposes, it seems that I can go nowhere these days without being bothered by
someone who just simply cannot wait until later to talk. It is almost as if every call is vital.
Don’t get me wrong, I recognize that mobile phones can be helpful. When someone’s car
breaks down, they bring quick help. Teens with loving parents can go out at the weekend with
a way to check in and satisfy their parents’ wish of knowing where they are. Mobile phones
keep people safe and enable the communication lines to remain open 24 hours a day.
However, when safety and frivolity clash, we run into problems.
My question is, where do we draw the line between necessary talk and obvious rudeness?
How many times have you been in a cinema, restaurant, or shopping centre when a mobile
phone started ringing? It is likely that the call could have waited. I think life should be simple,
not complicated with thousands of conversations happening at the same time with the constant
use of mobile phones. These phones are just infuriating sometimes, when people don’t see
what’s happening around them. All I am asking is for mobile phone users to be safe, have
some respect for others overhearing their chats, and to realize that sometimes it’s better to
keep conversations private. Caroline R., Hull, MA, www.teenink.com
