Re: Have Mobile Phones Created A Bad Mannered Generation?
Not sure if its a bad mannered generation,but its a generation that as lost the ability to talk amongst themselves,at work the older ones during our breaks manage to converse,looking around the canteen the younger ones all seem to be on their phones with little or no conversation.

Re: Have Mobile Phones Created A Bad Mannered Generation?
Yes, although they are handy gadgets they are being misused/overused. I do believe that cell phones/mobile phones have caused a disconnection in relationships and in some teenagers, a dependency. Under no circumstances should a phone be allowed at a dinner table. Surely, there can’t be anything that crucial that it can’t wait until a more private time. Yes, phones have invaded our privacy and it seems everyone has turned robotic when a text or call comes in. Reminds me of Pavlov’s experiment.

Yet .... How would you feel if you were at someone's house and they kept getting up every few minutes and going to their front door to check if someone was there? I'm sure you'd soon get a bit fed up!
Do you think mobile phones have encouraged bad manners and rudeness?

I hate the way the young seem to need their mobile phones by their side constantly like an extra body part
They do encourage rudeness and the feeling that when you are talking to someone you don't have their complete attention because they are checking their email so in effect talking to a third person who can't be seen

Of course it will be the drivers fault, after all if you can afford a car you must be insured and therefore a soft target.
