The world has become a much smaller place, thanks to the internet and cell phones. Carrying a cell phone means that you can be in contact with anyone at anytime. Is this a good thing? Well, it has its advantages and disadvantages. Cell phones are a good way to keep in touch with friends and family, but they have a habit of going off at certain times, like when your sleeping, eating, showering etc.
People expecting you to be available all the time may be annoying. Cell phone calls follow you everywhere you go from, work, play, eating and more, there is just no way of getting away from it. Even during nighttime when you want to rest, cell phones continue to ring and annoy you. If it is important, no problem but if it is unimportant, why do you need to be bothered so late.
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.

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 i am at church, every week without fail someones phone will ring. It is very annoying, especially when the minister is speaking, and it just upsets the whole balance of things. In a place of worship, a cell phone should always be switched off. No matter how many times it happens in church, the following week, the same thing happens again, and its not uncommon for 3 or 4 people in the congregation's phones to go off during the service in church.
