Boomers and Cell Phones

I just read this and thought it was a few excellent tips for cell phones. For example how to call emergency services no matter where you are in the world.

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO. > There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.
> Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool > for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it: > > >

FIRST > Subject: Emergency > The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. > If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network > and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any > existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and > interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is > locked……… (lock your keys and then try it… the keys will automatically unlock for 112) > . >

SECOND > Subject: Have you locked your keys in the car? > Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy > someday. > Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and > the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone > from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car > door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding

Names, Yep, Nope and Manners in General

Being of the boomer generation, we questioned authority and everything. However, as I/we got older the manners our Mom, sometimes it was Dad, instilled in us came in handy.

For instance how to act at the girlfriend's home when invited to dinner. Holding the door for a lady to walk thru first or opening their car door. Also, the one that I personally get the most comments on is to stand up and greet someone, when introduced.

This brings me to the younger generation the 17 to 25 set. We have a new young woman, lady does not fit yet in our office. I would ask her question and I would get a 'yep' or 'nope'. After about a week of this I took her aside and set the boundary that she will say 'yes or yes sir' or 'no or no mam', I also asked her not to burb in the office any more!

Oh by the way her name is Brittnay.....It could be Nicole, Amber, l the same attitude with I know more than you with the roll of the eyes.

What is happening to our your people??
