Just One too many Ringtones, Turn that Mobile Off

Technology has become a love-hate thing. I'm a typical example. After all. Where would I be without my beloved little flip-top Motorola, with its store of priceless baby pictures and virtual address book? Completely lost, of course. But there are days when I swear out loud at my phone, thanks to its constant interruptions. And surprise, surprise, I'm increasingly intolerant of other people's mobile use. I can't help feeling that technology has increased levels of both rudeness and intolerance. It is now an accepted part of everyday life that the average woman carries around 25,000 Baht of 'walking wealth' at any one time, including mobiles laptops and other gadgets. But, with one in six of us carrying an mobile iPod, or an MP3 player wherever we go, why are so few of us skilled in the laws of techiquette? Why don't we know how to use our new toys with grace, poise and consideration for others?
