So true, Del.
We went out for lunch on Fathers day and had to tell my 16 year old son to put his phone away while at the table.
Even sitting in the tea room at work, when you look around, you have adults using their phone and ignoring whats going on.
Nothing wrong with using smart phones etc, but there's a time and a place.
My two cents :cool:

We don't own any smart phones just a bog standard PAYG type and it really annoys me when people are on the bloody things at shop counters. I let a woman walk straight into me 'cos she was yakking and not looking where she was going not even a 'sorry', bloody teenagers are the worst though. If I could find out who invented the bloody things I would lock them in a room paved and walled with the bloody things ringing loudly and throw away the key.

Fortunately, the clip isn't me and never will be!

I have a smart phone for my convenience (internet searching, e.t.c), but I control it and the reverse never happens. Until April I had a job involving me carrying out formal interviews. It was becoming more common for people to answer their phones without even going through the pretence of asking if it was OK for them to do so.

My policy was NEVER to stop talking to them while the call was in progress. Often I was asked to go over the points again, or repeat what I had said while the interviewee was talking on the phone - I always refused to do this, telling the person concerned that it had been their own choice not to listen to me when I was explaining legal requirement conditions.

Some of the interviews I conducted were with 16 & 17 year olds and I feel that based on my own experience, in many, many cases, basic social and communication skills are sadly lacking in the youth of today.
