MOBILE PHONE ETIQUETTE! 1. invention; 2. hotel; 3. humans; 4. microphone; 5. heard; 6. shout; 7. level; 8. loud Video script Megan: Here’s my house key. Paul: Thanks. I’m William Hanson, etiquette consultant. What I don’t know about etiquette, simply is not worth knowing. With technology developing at an alarming rate, we need to keep up to speed with the do’s and the don’ts of modern life, so come with me and I’ll help you navigate this so-called 21st century. First up, the mobile phone, probably the most important invention in recent decades, but they never came with an etiquette instruction book, did they? 1. So, where should we use our mobile phones? You can go to any café, restaurant, hotel and you see people that have come together to meet, and they are there using their mobile phones. What’s the point in getting together? Might as well stay at home. Concentrate on the humans, not the gadgets. 2. Now, volume – both the volume that you speak into the devices and the volume of the devices themselves. A mobile phone has a microphone built in, and an amplifier on the caller’s end. You could whisper into a mobile phone and you still will be hard as crystal-clear.

So there’s no need to shout! 3. And your ringtone – you want to have it at an audible level so you’re going to hear it, but (if it’s) too loud and everybody’s going to look round – it’s going to disturb other people in quieter environments. So, like a lot of etiquette, have a compromise. 4. And finally, text speak – it’s so last decade, darling.
