Youths and mobile phones

Posted by email 

Things I noticed whilst observing youngsters using their mobiles….

They play music from their phone on the bus, walking the street or with friends as a sort of background music.

Sometimes, though not so often these days, youths where there phone round their neck

To play games whilst waiting for public transport

To Blue-tooth music from one device to another

To text. I noticed one kid texting whilst riding his bike

Youths always text whilst walking completely oblivious to whats going on ahead of them

As cameras

As video recorders

This is all I noticed.
