Do you really want to make yourself available for anyone and everyone on a 24/7 basis? A famous person once said that the more available you make yourself; the more available everyone will expect you to be. People will actually be annoyed if you are not instantly and constantly available rather than being pleased when you do call.
Sometimes, the cell phone ringing annoys us, as it just seems to ring at the most awkward of times. If we are at the cinema, at a wedding we seem to always forget to switch the cell phone off, and at times like this, its most likely to ring. Sometimes, people seem to forget as to what time it is, and they will call you at al hours, waking you up from your sleep, only to find out it is something that could have waited till morning. Its times like this the cell phone is a nusicance.
Today in this modern society, we live in and the domination of cell phones we see people talking anywhere and everywhere. If used for business, this may prove to be very effective and worthy. However, for very menial issues being bothered in your sleep and even during your bathroom time may be quite annoying if not outright disgusting. However, if you make yourself available all the time, you created your own nightmare.
Why did we buy a cell phone? So we could be contacted, and we could contact others. But as good as cell phones are, they can also cause us embarrising moments also. If your at a funeral, or a wedding, or even a business meeting for example, these are times when we seem to forget to turn the phone off, and this leads to others getting annoyed with you, so in these situations it is always best to turn your phone off, or put it on silent, as you never know the moment your phone is going to ring.
When traveling and if you are on-board an aircraft, you will be required to turn off your phone. This is because electronics devices may interfere with the aircrafts avionics. Thus, it is a requirement to turn of your phone for safety reasons. However, for extremely long flights, airline companies allow cell phone usage at a certain time, if you really need to make a phone call, use this time allotted if necessary.
Why do people never seem to turn the cell phones off before the enter a place of worshipp for example? In my local church, not a week gos by when someones phone doesnt go off. It happens each and every week, and you would think by now they would have learned to switch them off, as you never know the moment when your phone will ring.
We all love our cell phones, and always keep them close by us in case someone calls us or we ned to make a call. We update our phones to the latest models, and price never seems to come into it. When the phone comes out, we have just got to have it. People are making a fortune selling these phones, and we are more than happy to the pay whatever the asking price is. Thats how much we think of cell phones in this day and age.
