For instance, trying to enjoy a dinner with the family at a newly opened sushi bar and catch up on how our week has been, and catch up and enjoy each other can be come interrupted by to have a neighbor having a loud phone conversation of how great his new athlete’s foot lotion is working for him. A personal example has also been meeting up with a long time friend who had moved away from town to have a drink and catch up on each others lives. During our catch up drink my long time friend was constantly interrupted by checking their phone and texting.

All of Fishers examples are a clear example of how cell phones are not the problem but how people use them. Therefore I agree with Fishers stand point on cell phone usage. If people learned when it is appropriate to use a cell phone there would be less of a distraction and also less of a safety
