Contacting someone has never been easier

By Tyler J L Neill

Do you really want to make yourself available for anyone and everyone on a 24/7 basis? A famous person once said that the more available you make yourself; the more available everyone will expect you to be. People will actually be annoyed if you are not instantly and constantly available rather than being pleased when you do call.

Being available 24/7, has its disadvantages. We need to sleep, but like many of us we leave our phone switched on each night before we go to bed. We are afrais to switch it off for several reasons, one of the most common being, in case there is a family emergency. You can be sure that at some stage some friend or family member will ring you in the small hours, to talk about something that could have waited till the next day, and you have been woke from your sleep for nothing.

In this day and age, cell phones are everywhere. No matter where you go you are sure to see many people talking on them. You may be sitting on a bus and the person in front of you is talking away on the cell phone, and this can be really annoying, as people tend to be loud and laughing on them when they are out. If your in business, cell phones are a good way to keep in contact with the office, and business partners.

Why did we buy a cell phone? So we could be contacted, and we could contact others. But as good as cell phones are, they can also cause us embarrising moments also. If your at a funeral, or a wedding, or even a business meeting for example, these are times when we seem to forget to turn the phone off, and this leads to others getting annoyed with you, so in these situations it is always best to turn your phone off, or put it on silent, as you never know the moment your phone is going to ring.

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.

Why do people never seem to turn the cell phones off before the enter a place of worshipp for example? In my local church, not a week gos by when someones phone doesnt go off. It happens each and every week, and you would think by now they would have learned to switch them off, as you never know the moment when your phone will ring.

We all love our cell phones, and always keep them close by us in case someone calls us or we ned to make a call. We update our phones to the latest models, and price never seems to come into it. When the phone comes out, we have just got to have it. People are making a fortune selling these phones, and we are more than happy to the pay whatever the asking price is. Thats how much we think of cell phones in this day and age.
