SOCIAL ETIQUETTES FOR SMARTPHONES.
The introduction of smartphones have receive a tremendous acknowledgement. These phones allow its user to surf the net, check their mails, watch videos, etc. There have been an increasing demands for them as they are very helpful to working adults and trendy to the youths.
Rencently, there have been an increasing number of people of different ages carrying a smartphone. Everywhere we go, we could always see a huge number of people using their smartphones. Even when we are talking to our friends, having lessons or in a midst of meetings, there is always someone that is on their smartphone.
It can be quite rude to use a smartphone to check your mail, facebook or even to play games when there is someone talking to you as you will not be giving your attention to that person.to check your mail, facebook or even to play games when there is someone talking to you as you will not be giving your attention to that person. This will only make the person feel lousy as they might think that you are not interested. Some speaker might not only feel lousy but also annoyed at the fact that the listener is actually busy tapping away and not listening to them. The speaker might also have a wrong impression that they are very boring or not interesting.
In such cases when someone is speaking, i would advise those who really need to urgently reply a text or answer a call to excuse yourself to the bathroom to do so. Also if the speaker do not like people to use their phones in the meeting or in lessons, they could always set a rule that no phones
are allowed in the room or class so that there will be no disruption.
Although using a smartphone when there is a speaker or person with you is being rude, but if the speaker is really boring, who would not resist the temptation of taking out their smartphones to play or text.
Therefore, i personally find that it is ok to use the smartphone at times like this to keep yourself awake as long as you know your limits and do not overdo it. As sleeping in front of them is definitely so much more worst than tapping on your phones.
