Funny how this never was a problem before the introduction of the mobile phone

The problem is that common sense and the respect of other people around one has developed at a slower pace than the technological progression unless we look towards countries like Japan and South Korea where the use of mobile phones has reached a total other and higher level than what we in the West have got.

Henry III's example is spot on what we will expect to hear on planes (when it becomes standard). A little like the calls made by people in airports except 85% of all non business related calls are like : "I'm in the airport heading to blah blah blah" just to make sure everybody knows - a little like twitter which mainly consists of non interesting babble and this is something I for one don't want to listen to...

Planes are the only place where we can be free of mobiles and I think this refuge should be kept this way ^
