Practice activity 7 .3 (possible answer only)
Appendix 1 Answer Key 
175 
Portable electronic devices have brought a level of convenience to our lives that was 
unimaginable just a few short decades ago, enabling us to stay in touch and be entertained 
wherever we are. Like almost all technological advances, however, there are some negative 
effects. One such effect is that these personal devices are making people ruder both to 
people they know and to strangers. 
It is a common sight to see two people at a cafe or restaurant together but not talking, 
because they are busy playing with their iPad or iPhone. It is also common to be having 
a conversation with someone and have them suddenly ignore you to read a text. Even in 
situations where it has traditionally been considered especially important to respect 
other people and be polite, such as a classroom or business meeting, people cannot tear 
themselves away from their devices. All of these examples make clear how this technology 
is interfering with accepted social behaviour. 
As well as being rude to the people they are with, people are often rude to 
others in
their general environment as a result of their addiction to technology. Perhaps the best 
example of this is people who answer their phone in cinemas, ruining the experience of an 
entire audience. But there are also the people who conduct Loud personal conversations in 
public places or, on the other side of the spectrum, bus-takers who perpetually have their 
earphones in and use this as an excuse to ignore another passenger's question or request 
for help. 
There will always be rude people in the world, regardless of how society and technology 
may change. However, we need to do our best to see that the lure of personal entertainment 
does not take away our basic respect and concern for others.
