Our first topic is about something many of us would rather live without, but double back home to get if we leave them behind. Mobile phones.
We'd like to know your thoughts on mobiles phones and their usage. Things like when you should or shouldn't use them, what time is too late to call someone and when is it appropriate or inappropriate to text or call.

I think people rely to much on their mobiles, and communication becomes just messages etc. rather than taking the time to actually interact with the person.
I have one and only use it mostly if I am holidays, otherwise it is in my bag. I do not send text messages as I think they are very impersonal and would rather hear a voice message or take a call.
If you are out somewhere at a restaurant, not necessary to receive and make calls. I have heard phones ring and calls taken at funerals and in church services.
If you work or volunteer for an emergency organisation you may need to have your phone on at all times but most phones have a vibrating/buzz sound that is not as intrusive as the normal ring, and this can be turned on when it is needed. Taking pictures is fun but as mentioned by another forum contributor, the pictures don't actually come out especially well when printed.
