I have found myself asking this question quite often these days. “ Can a handphone be really more interesting then a person in the flesh?”. I understand the core function of a handphone is to be contactable. But it seems that not only has it superseded its main function it has become a necessity.
Sometimes I would go out with my friends only to have them fiddling with their phones, smsing or talking to another person on the phone for extended periods of time. Hello, am I invisible? if there are such pressing issues that you have to talk about it now, I suggest you meet the other person instead.
I know you want to know what ringtones your new phone has or you want to let us know what nice songs you have in your phone. But, no, i don't think we, the commuters on the train and bus
are particularly interested. It's better explored in your home, no? Neither do I know want to know what an exciting night you had yesterday or what you had for breakfast - loudly. Try talking a little softer, you will be surprised how easy it is.
The handphone is meant to make our lives a little more convenient, not an inconvenice to others.
Here is the ten commandments which I found on the net relating to the use of handphone.

It's true that people need to know when and how to use their cellphones.
Well, sometimes thats the negative side of having such advancement in technology. That could also be the reason why there are relationship problems in couples, because this symptom where people concentrate on their phones more than their meal partners, happens very often.
