A Stop Phubbing campaign group has been started in Australia and at least five others have sprung up in its wake as anger about the lack of manners grows.The campaign’s creator,Alex Haigh,23,from Melbourne,said,“A group of friends and I were chatting when someone raised how annoying being ignored by people on mobiles was.”He has created a website where companies can download posters to discourage phubbing.
Phubbing is just one symptom of our increasing dependence on mobile phones and the Internet which is replacing normal social interaction.A survey found that one out of three Britons would answer the phone in a restaurant and 19% said they would while being served in a shop.The survey comes after a supermarket assistant in south London refused to serve a woman until she stopped using her phone.
Time magazine once pointed out,“Phubbing has a much greater potential harm to reallife connections by making people around us feel like we care more about posts than their presence.”
In the UK,Glamour magazine even imagined how novelist Jane Austen(1775-1817) would have written about people with bad mobile phone manners:“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man or woman in possession of a good mobile phone must be in want of manners”.
