Using Mobile Phones in Public

Pros and Cons

Pros:

1. Genuine emergencies do occur, and some calls truly cannot wait. People who have sick or elderly family members, parents expecting an important call from their child, and those in the midst of a crisis believe it's acceptable to leave their phones on in public.
2. People can easily call for help if there's an emergency. For example if there's an accident.






Cons:

1. In airplanes and hospitals, cell phones can interfere with the functioning of delicate instruments, a serious consideration.
2. Many people go to places such as libraries specifically to focus and do work. Others attend church or religious services for time to worship and reflect. People who use their mobile phones in such a setting distract others.
3. Using mobile phones while driving is dangerous.
