6 BAD MOBILE PHONE HABITS

Benjamin Franklin one of the founding fathers of the united states said “it is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.”

     We are in an era when we cannot live a day without our smartphones and be on the social networks (Facebook's,twitter,LinkedIn and Google plus)we go everywhere with our gadget,taking the internet with us everywhere we go.

    Fine,we need these gadgets to make our daily activities easier and flexible;but we should also consider the danger it may pose to our life on how we use them.You see people receiving calls while driving,even though it is illegal;some walk around with earphone plugged in,without looking or watching out for oncoming vehicles.I have seen someone pinging on his blackberry while crossing an express way.

   Below are bad tech habit you should stop.

USING YOUR PHONE WHEN CROSSING THE ROAD

Your phone belong to you,and you can use it anytime you want;but avoid using your phone when you are crossing the road,boarding a bus or when you are in the middle of the meeting.if you know that the call is very important,you could excuse yourself from the meeting and tell the caller to call you back or you will call back.

LEAVING YOUR PHONE TO CHARGE OVERNIGHT

Call it laziness,but people have this bad habit of plugging up their device each and every night before bed.its arguable as to how this will negatively affect the handset in the long run.of course,we we’re seeing more energy efficient chargers that automatically shut off once a handset is fully charged.

SHARING CONVERSATION OVER SPEAKERPHONES

You’re already super loud with your tone voice with phone calls,but why do you have the urge to put your entire conversation on speakerphone? In addition to dealing with your yappy voice,the people around you will now suffer more having to hear the muffled voice of the person on the other end of the line.

TALKING ON THE PHONE AT INAPPROPRIATE TIMES

You’re out on a hot date ready to order something,but you realize that the other person across the table is chit-chatting away-all the while,the waiter is patiently waiting to take down your order.Not only are they going to peeve that waiter,but their actions speak louder than their conversation on the phone.Sure,you might press on trying to get them off the phone,but the damage is done already.

DISTRACTED DRIVING

At one point in nigeria,majority of car owners in nigeria are guilty of doing this one while driving.Certainly,some people have changed their ways and vowed to never use their handset while driving after fully understanding the disastrous results that can occur,but still, it happens all the time with other drivers on the road.Try as hard as they can,but there’s this invisible grip that devices have on some people.

TALKING OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD WHILE ON A CONVERSATION

Can you hear me now?That’s probably what comes to mind for those people who have to deal with obnoxiously loud individuals chattering away on their phones.No, we don’t need to really know what you’re having for dinner tonight,so why don’t you just bring down the volume just a little bit.

SO READERS I WANT YOU TO START COMMENTING AND TELL US YOUR OWN BAD TECH HABIT.
