1 Mobile phones: Blessing or Curse
A person is in an unhealthy phase of obsessive and constant cell phone use. This may be caused by the newness of the device or by an emotional problem that makes them use the cell phone to isolate from others who surround them. Or, it might be that the increasing use of the cell phone by everyone else causes the person to get one of their own."[1]

But some people developed and expressed unreasonable intrusions into the lives of cell phone users. Why should a person who is shopping in a supermarket care about a person's cell phone use when they, themselves never even return a stranger's smile or friendly "hello"? What would cause a person who is not friendly towards, or who does not even know the individual, have problems when the same person is using their mobile device?
In other words, some people gripe if they even look 30 feet away to see a total stranger using a cell phone, and that is unreasonable.
In some cases, the person without the cell phone is the antisocial entity. Some people are just difficult and cell phones are not to blame. The needy neighbor who cannot stop talking and let a person move on to do their chores; the rude
