By Tyler J L Neill

Thanks to the mobile phone age that we are living in, it is now possible to contact anyone at anytime, anywhere in the world. If your on holiday, your friends and family are at the touch of a button, if your lonely, just phone a friend to talk to, there is always someone, somewhere, that you can call. Your available 24/7 with a cell phone, either making or recieving calls, how did we ever survive without them...

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.

Cell phones are everywhere. Just walk down your local main street and you will see many people talking on them. They have become part of everday life. We use them for contacting friends and family, we use them for ordering pizzas, we have just grown so use to them that they are part of our everyday life and we cannot do without them now. No matter where you are now in the world, you can be contacted on your cell phone.

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.

During meetings, please turn off your cell phone; it is rude to have your phone ringing while somebody speaks Disruption may cause problems especially when the meeting tackles extremely important issues. However, if you are waiting for terribly important call, you may use the vibrate mode of your cell phone to alert you when a call is in-coming and leave the meeting if you need to answer the call. You may also inform the possible caller that you are in a meeting and that you cannot be disturbed.

When you are in a place of worship, it may be necessary to leave your cell phone in the house or at least turn it off if you do not want to be away with it. This is because ringing cell phone will not just disturb you while you pray it will also disturb others. You do not need to show off your expensive gadget in a place of worship.

Mobile phones or Cell phones depending on where you live in the world, have become part of everday life, to the extent that we cannot be without them. We are constantly changing our phones to the latest models, and they have beome big business for people and firms who sell them.
