In today's world it is easier to count those who do not have a
cell phone than it is to count those that do. Children in
Elementary school and even younger carry cell phones. The latest
cell phones give you the ability to:
View or take pictures View or capture video Surf the internet
Text message Email And most have a variety of other features.
The newest discussions however aren't about how great a cell
phone, but on the disturbance it brings to others. You can't
walk block without passing someone who is talking or yelling
into their cell phone.
Now in movie theaters, it is becoming more and more annoying as
other patrons don't bother to turn off or mute their cell
phones. There are two sides of the argument. Should we ban cell
phones in theaters or not?
Pros:
Banning cell phones or using a device to block their signal will
mean no more annoying ringing throughout a movie. No one yapping
on their phone as if they don't realize that a few hundred other
people just paid to watch the movie like they did. The sense of
joy that the only sound now besides the movie is the idiot who
wants to loudly discuss every scene to the person to them.
Satellite Phones vs. Cell Phones (Which One is Right for You?)
There are several factors that differentiate satellite phones from cell phones. How they work, their utility and cost just to name a few.
Functionality Differences
Cellular phones or cell phones use small stations or towers known as ‘cells’ from which they receive their signals and to which they send signals. As the user moves from one destination to the next, his call or his cellular service is passed on from cell to the next. The mobile handset is thus in continuous connectivity with the different cells of the network provider and the individual can talk on the move. This is ..
Cons:
Banning or blocking cell phones is a good way to give customers
a break from all the ringing and annoyances throughout the
movie, however there is the problem of not receiving an
important call.
A doctor for instance won't get calls from a hospital that needs
them to come right away, endangering patients lives. People in
business who needs to know what's going on every second of every
day with their business, won't get that important call if
something is going wrong.
What about this one? Someone in your family has been hurt or
killed and you won't find that out until you leave the theaters.
How are you going to feel knowing that you just spent two hours
watching a movie and wasn't able to find out that someone you
love needed you?
The National Association of Theatre Owners are fed up with the
cell phone calls and have reported that some individual theaters
have experimented with cell phone bans.
Also some studios block phones during unreleased movie
screenings to prevent people from taping a movie with the
phones. Some professionals have reported that they would stop
How Cell Phones Work
Each day thousands of people in the United States purchase cellular phones. At that rate it is likely that someone you know owns a cell phone and uses it on a regular basis. They are such great gadgets - and there are a ton of cool cell phone accessories you can buy to make yours stand out from the crowd. With a cell phone you can talk to almost anyone from just about anywhere, because approximately 80% of the U.S. has coverage. Cell phones have come a long way in a relatively short period of time but have you ever wondered exactly how a cell phone works?
A cell phone is nothing more than a ..
going to the movies if this ban or block were to take place.
If people think that a ban can't happen they should remember
that just last year France's government gave theater owners
permission to block cell phones. However this is only when you
go in to watch the movie itself and not in the lobby and waiting
areas.
As with anything there will always be the few that ruins it for
those who follow the rules and are considerate of others.
Unfortunately the good usually has to suffer with the bad.
I don't know what the individual States plan to do about the
cell phone issue, but until then, everyone needs to remember
that they are not the only people on the planet. Put your cell
phone on vibrate and stop disturbing the rest of us.
