Mobile phone on everyone's hand

Mobile phones are one of the great ways ti kill boredom especially when waiting. There are lots of things to do in mobile phones now like listening to music, surfing the net, playing games, reading books and many other more that depends on what the cellphone you have offers. Great technology innovation that we are using right now.

Yes, yanzalong, when I look around at the people around me in public, it is as if they are possessed, staring goggly-eyed at the little eletronic contraptions in their hands. I often wonder what holds them so spell-bound. I wonder what this constant communcation with those in the virtual world will do to the prospects of a friendly chat with strangers in the real world? Peace

If it is me with the phone in my hand in a waiting room i am more than likely playing angry birds. My nephew got me addicted to that stupid game and now i can't stop lol. I go on Facebook too though :) But not to check in or post how bored i am waiting wherever i am

ah yeah this is a common sight nowadays, but lines in banks are not allowed to have phones being used by the customer by the bank. Oh well but for all others, people do a lot of things such as games or chat on the phone or browse the internet nowadays whenever they are on a long line waiting to be served.

yes I do see people playing and just pressing away on their mobile phones while waiting for something. i think it is because of boredom or they really have to get in touch with someone in their family.

There's that and also lots of people listening to music on public transport. Everywhere you look these days people are on their phones. I think it's rude when you are out with someone and they are on their phone txting or tweeting or on FB. You go out to socialise in person and they are socialising online. What's the point? I don't even have a phone with internet on it :D

Since I don't wear a watch, I usually take out my phone to see what time I is... I used to wear a watch but it bothers my wrist a lot so stopped wearing it... When I'm in a waiting room or on a long travel where I don't have to travel, I usually listen to music on my iPod... I only use my phone for what it is, a phone, ok on few occasions as a clock... I don't play games on it, I don't listen to music on it, I don't watch movies or videos on it... So I don't really have much reasons to take out my phone except for 3 reasons, make & receive calls, text messages & to see what time it is...

You are so right, and I have done the same thing while waiting to get my hair cut. It passes the time, keeps me from being bored. I also have angry birds as well, and it is so addictive, but I try to avoid playing it, as I can't stop after I start playing. You will see more people with cell phones, than you will those that don't have them. It seems they are our lifelines, and I know mine is, as I am lost without it, especially when I go out and can't take it because it needs charging. I use my phone everyday, mostly for talking, but when I get bored doing other things, then I can play games on it as well. Take care, and have a very good day.
