An article we read recently brought up cell phone usage as a type of technology has become so pervasive that our culture has not quite adapted to it yet. There's no book on cell phone do's and don'ts.
I was in the grocery store checkout aisle when my sister from Houston called. I don't talk to her as often as I should and I wanted her to know that the call was important to me. So I answered it. After about a minute we were involved in a conversation about what to get my parents for Christmas when I suddenly became intensely aware of the people around me. The customers behind me, the one in front, and the cashier. I felt embarrassed and cut the call short.
The cell phone is not THAT new of a technology but I am still unaware of its polite proper use in social relations.
