XIII Международная студенческая научная конференция Студенческий научный форум - 2021

Nowadays, almost everyone has a phone, but does everyone know how to use it properly? Quite often such rules appear already in the process of communication.

According to the latest survey, a large number of people were dissatisfied with the fact that sometimes people talk too loudly about their personal affairs. This is an incorrect behaviour for a public place. It is almost as indecent as picking your nose or scratching your armpits, as many people do, thinking that they will go unnoticed.

There is also the problem of using a mobile phone where it can interfere with other people. For example, in a theater, cinema or train. Your conversation violates the personal boundaries of another person, which is completely contrary to the norms of etiquette. Fortunately, these "norms" are gradually emerging and becoming more explicit.

Unfortunately, we do not have a clear rule regarding the phone during business meetings. A very small percentage of people actually turn off the sound on their phone before an important meeting. Or some people turn off the sound so that everyone notices. To demonstrate their "respectful" attitude to others.

In addition, there is another problem related to mobile phones, and this does not apply to calls. Nowadays, you can find a wide variety of phone brands, different prices, and often people compare their phone with others. This problem is particularly common among teenagers.

Also, people often use phones just to keep their hands busy. It's like a magazine or a newspaper. To some extent, this is convenient, but in this way the person is slightly separated from the environment. People start to forget about live communication, the emotions they experience when discussing the latest gossip or sharing their impressions with others. Social media has replaced real communication. Often we may not communicate with friends or relatives, even if they live not far from us. The modern pace of life is much faster than it was before, so we simply do not have time to pay attention to the people we love. On the one hand, it is convenient. We can write to anyone we want at any time, and we don't need to spend a lot of money to do this. We can even communicate with people from the other side of the world almost for free! And this is an undeniable advantage. But, on the other hand, having too much online talks we forget how to communicate in real life although it is the most important thing!

I think it's great to enjoy the benefits of the modern world, but it's also necessary to remember about real life.
