29、 (Church of Today): Well, if were in the middle of prayer and meditation, I usually just ignore it. And I may make a comment afterwards, something like, “Well, you know, maybe the spirit of God is truly calling us and wanting our attention.” Horsley: Not everyone is as forgiving as Reverend Wendy Cr

30、aig-Purcell of San Diegos Church of Today. And not everyone views the cell phone as an instrument of divine intervention. When San Diego Mayor Susan Golding conducted an Internet survey last year, thousands of people responded calling for restrictions on cell phone use, especially in movie theaters.

31、 Mayor Susan Golding (San Diego): I know that Ive been in the movies. And its at that quiet time when everyones on the edge of their seat and the phone rings next to you and the person starts to talk in a very loud voice. Part APart BPart CCell PhoneListeningUnit 4 TechnologyHorsley: But rather than

32、 propose regulation, Mayor Golding has launched a voluntary courtesy campaign, urging wireless phone users to mind their mobile manners.

34、 just like driving or anything else, you know. Some people will subscribe to a certain politeness and some people wont. But its nice that theres an issue being raised here. Part APart BPart CCell PhonePre-listeningListeningUnit 4 TechnologyHorsley: San Diego might seem like an unlikely place to rais

35、e the issue of rude cell phone use since the cell phone industry is one of the citys biggest employers, with companies like Qualcomm and Nokia. But Nokia is actually sponsoring the mayors courtesy campaign. Vice President Larry Paulson says customers should set their phones to “vibrate” rather than

36、ring in certain settings, and sometimes even turn their telephones off. Larry Paulson (Vice President, Nokia): Certainly I think that everyone agrees with this. In certain public areas such as movie theaters, plays, churches, museums, and libraries, talking can be very disruptive and, essentially, i

37、ts a violation of basic courtesy. Part APart BPart CCell PhonePre-listeningListeningUnit 4 TechnologyHorsley: Cell phone companies realize a public backlash isnt good for their business. And with communities in Ohio and New Jersey already banning cell phone use behind the wheel, the industry may see

38、 a courtesy campaign as a way to head off further government regulation, like the beer companies urging their customers to drink responsibly. Instead of a strict enforcer, Mayor Golding hopes to play a gentle Miss Manners. The real Miss Manners, newspaper columnist Judith Martin, thinks that might w

39、ork better, anyway. Judith Martin (Miss Manners): If yon use the heavy hand of the law for everyday trivial things, you create this state where everybody is angry at everybody else, where the courts are clogged up. This is a very simple thing were talking about: dont disturb people, you know. Dont t

40、alk at the movies. Dont talk on the phone in the movies. Dont talk to the person next to you in the movies.Part APart BPart CCell PhonePre-listeningListeningUnit 4 TechnologyHorsley: Martin says its not unusual when new technologies develop for people to believe theyre in an etiquette-free zone. But

41、 gradually, a consensus develops about how the tools should be used. With cell phones, she says, were halfway there. People agree that others shouldnt annoy them with their phones, but they dont necessarily apply the same rules to themselves. That will be the challenge, as Mayor Golding demonstrated

42、 during a news conference kicking off her courtesy campaign. Mayor Golding: I think we will influence a great number of people to stop and think. For example, mine is ringing right now. But I think we will influence a lot of people to turn off their cell phones or to put them on “vibrate”. Clearly,

43、there are places , and this doesnt even hang up well. But because I want to be courteous and not answer it during this press conference.Part APart BPart CCell PhonePre-listeningListeningUnit 4 TechnologyHorsley: The Mayor later explained that hers was a new phone, and she hadnt figured out all the s
