Me and you together – with our mobile phones

Filed in Media by on October 22, 2013 3 Comments

Take a look at this beautifully produced video about how the mobile phone has become part of every single human interaction.

The question is: How do you react when you watch the video? Does it fill you with horror at what we have become? Or do you shrug your shoulders with indifference? Or do you celebrate this new but now normal way of being human and all the benefits it brings?

  1. I couldn’t actually see the video clip, but I heard it and got the general gist of the message it put across.
    Mobile phones have changed our lives in so many ways, like it or not. I think it’s up to the individual user to follow an acceptable form of etiquette regarding their mobile use so that they show good manners all round. For example, phones turned off in Church and meetings; not answering when you’re in a conversation with friends face to face and, the most galling to me, not replying to texts when you’re with other people. I could go on……
    I would add that I don’t belong to the generation that was brought up with the mobile phone.

  2. Right now, it’s considered rude (among people older than 25 anyway) to be on your phone doing whatever while meeting with someone face-to-face. Definitely the time will come when this is no longer the case, and it will be the norm. I think we have to go with it and humanise it in creative ways…..

    This video portrayed everything I dislike about mobile phones, they are intrusive and in certain social situations using them is downright rude.

    With regards to previous comment about use and age. I know of many people in their 50’s who are addicted to their phones.

    The correct etiquette for use should be taught along with the teaching of good manners.

    Nothing annoys me more when you are out for the evening and those around you keep checking and answering their phones. Their use disrpts the flow of the evening. They should be kept on silent and only checked when visiting the loo, which doesn’t mean you visit the bathroom every 5 minutes! I could talk at length here….suffice to say this is a great video which really shows how much they have impacted on our lives.
