I have a strong suspicion that the smart phones, computers, internet, video games, movies, etc would gradually displace our social and family times! The trends are in that direction.
The marketing of this fast communication culture is cleverly done with no respect for the harm it causes to privacy, family times and personal space.
The scientists are alert to warn us of the several health related risks and disadvantages due to the habitual use of mobile phones. But they escape the attention of the users as the advertising techniques are emotionally captivating.
Let me suggest that we use the land phones whenever possible. Some international airports still have the same number of land line phones for common use in spite of them being less commonly used as people carry their own personal phones. This to me is a message that the land phones are risk free.
Human behaviour seems to be more and more controlled by conditioning influences. I wish we would counter it by restricting mobile phone use only when a land line is not accessible!
