Here in the west nearly everyone now has a mobile phone. But we all need to remember that around 50% of the worlds population have never received or made a telephone call.
This really highlights the technological gulf that exists between the developed countries and the developing countries.
But there are plenty of people who believe that mobile phones are actually more of a scourge and not very useful. Have you recently used any form of public transport?
On my routine journeys to and from London on the train I am forced to listen to various telephone conversations that would never have taken place if it wasn’t for mobile phones. On my way home on the train from London each evening I’m forced to listen to people calling their partners simply to tell them that they are on the train. And every evening I have to listen to the same people making the same calls with the same useless message. How did they manage before mobile phones?
I’m also often forced to listen to the conversations of teenagers who appear to speak a different language. Often, they seem to be discussing their boring, empty lives or scathingly criticizing an alleged friend’s dress sense or discussing boyfriends in unflattering terms. In one recent conversation a young lady loudly shared the details of a recent sexual experience with a detailed account of what took place. Everyone in the carriage was squirming in their seats with embarrassment as she proceeded to describe her experience, blow by blow.
Inconsiderately forcing people to listen to one side of your mobile phone conversation is one way in which modern mobile phone use is anti-social. Another is those incredibly irritating and often far too loud ringtones that are supposed to sound like a popular tune but don’t.
We all need to be reminded of how lucky we are to even own mobile phones. Owning a mobile phone is not a god given right, it’s a privelige that should not be provided to people who use it to describe their sex lives, loudly.
