Social Etiquette of smartphones
Smartphone is more that just a basis 'feature phone'. It has abilities that surpass what a normal phone can do. A smartphone allows you to read and reply your email while you're away from your computer or laptop. Anywhere you go, as long as you're are carrying a smartphone and there is internet connection, you are able to reply emails and surf the internet too.
Whenever I am travelling on the train, I see people busying japping on their Blackberry or iPhone. More than just business personnel , non working youths and students are also using them. This scene can be seen during family meetings,class gatherings and even outings with friends. Instead of giving attention to the other party, people are so engaged with their smartphones that they may have neglacted their friends and family. Smartphone user use their phones even in situations that are inappropriate, such as meetings, dinners. This is disturbing to see. So, I believe we should respect the ocassion and the people around us and know when to use our phones. The convenience of smartphone have caused people to lack social etiqutte.
Though smartphones may be good and convenient, we should still practice social etiqutte and be wise while using them. I strongly believe that society should never neglate social etitutte no matter what they do.
