Mobile phones have become part of our life in a matter of years. Our mobile is with us wherever we go and most of us never turn it off. There are professions where immediate availability is necessary, but the vast majority of mobile phone users are ordinary people. Many Hungarian children become happy mobile owners during their kindergarten years and learn to use cell phones before learning to read. I heard stories of teachers complaining about parents who call their children at school when they are still in class. I’m more than sure that these parents use this gift of modern technology to compensate for something – maybe for the time they failed to spend with their kids for various reasons. Have you ever thought about what you might miss or gain when you are not hooked up to any satellite? The first time I bitterly regretted having a mobile was when my boss gave me a ring while I was on holiday to say they desperately need me at work the day after. Of course, it turned out to be a false alarm, but – since I’m a man who can learn from his mistakes – it made me think and eventually realize that mobile phones are overused. If you have read this far and still do not totally disagree you might want to consider this: use mobile phones only when necessary, cut the conversations short, turn it off when you go to sleep. My special gift for those of you who are still online is a brain-teaser: 2455 2546866 The numbers hide the name of an American politician. Hint: Mick Jagger = 6425 524437 Have you got your mobile with you? Good luck!
