Etiquette Rules

Emily Post needs to add a whole new chapter to her manners book. The responsible use of phones needs to be addressed. The law has already been established that you can't talk while driving, but what about when you are with friends? Is the person they are talking to more interesting than I am? Is this a contest on who can keep your attention? I do have a relative (who will remain nameless) that is on their phone constantly while they are around others. I wait patiently for this person to get off the phone and then try to talk quickly before the phone rings again. What is funny is that when I call this person on their cell phone, it rings and rings and doesn't get answered. So I don't make the cut? Should I be taking the hint? These are things I wonder about....

My iPhone

I never bothered with my cell phone, I got one because I had to have one. I never answered it, and it was always dead when I actually needed it. My daughter was dying for an iPhone, so I finally got her one. While we were upgrading her, I realized I could upgrade and get one also. Now I don't remember life before I had this adorable little thing. I still don't use the phone feature very much, but with the Internet always available, it's never far from me. Now I have games, productivity tools, my I Pod, and a camera always there. When I get bored with the dozens of apps I have, I go get more. I try not to be unsocialable when I'm around others, I think it's rude to play with this thing when other people are around.
One really cool thing to do is hear a song and identify it. The other thing that's great is I can always going online to check facts while I'm discussing something.
As a technology teacher, I need to know what I'm talking about, so here's my blog about my iPhone. Check in again soon.
