Summary: Everyone at some point has become overwhelmingly exasperated with the usage of a cell phone.  Let's sketch out the following scenarios: At work and a colleague is glued to their phone-at times on their phone instead of actually doing their job, going to the movies and the cell phone lights up or rings half way down the most suspenseful climax, having dinner and you're starring across the table at person that hasn't stopped glancing through their emails.....how frustrating is that!!!  The is articles clearly provides an in depth look on the necessary etiquette rules that everyone should follow.  Moreover, it provides a clear picture on how the rest of the world feels about this topic.  
Noted: It's understandable that a phone is sometimes considered the only important object you carry, which possess all the information you need (even when you have nothing else), but please have some manners!!!!!  Let's take a closer dive.
