 휴대전화 예절에 관한 이야기를 했다.

 Iphone first released in 2007. And students I'm teaching now, they were born in 2007. So they are same age with Iphone. They are modern generations. They started their life with smart phone.

 They feel more comfortable using cell phone than computer. They watch videos, send message, search for information, and play game on cell phone. It's more handy and convenient.

 

 I was on the bus and there was an old man watching video without headphone. It was really loud. Someone on the bus said "Excuse me, it's very loud. Please be quite on the bus" The old man got angry and he ranted. There was small argument between them. At that time, the bus driver said "Sir, you have to be quite at the public place" Then, the old man turned off the video.

 

 There was no etiquette like this when they were little. It's new etiquette that cell phone brought into our life. So I'm worried when I get old, there will be new etiquette I don't know right now. I don't want to be rude old lady.
