Tech Manners

BACK TO DASHBOARD

CONTEXT ARTICLE

Phones, tablets and other types of screens are now pretty much everywhere these days.

Having tech manners simply means considering others when you are using one.

Nobody likes being cut short because the person they are speaking to suddenly buries themselves in whatever is going on on their screen , whether it is a message or phone call or other notification.

On the other hand, none of us appreciate being disturbed in a restaurant or cinema by someone using their phone.

Have some fun discussing some situations where leaving the screen alone might be the better option!

CORE MESSAGES

• It’s not very polite to ignore people when you are using a tablet or phone.

• Always try to think about other people’s feelings.

• Switch off your screen if it’s going to disturb others – like in the movies.
