Music Swapping of the Cellular Kind
As I’ve mentioned in this newsletter before, I’m not a big fan of cell-phones. Especially when it comes to kids.
Supposedly more than a million kids in the United Kingdom under 10 years of age already have a mobile phone. Imagine. That’s one in four children. The average age a child receives a cell phone in Europe is eight. Hmmm. So what might they be doing with their phones, besides calling their friends ad nauseam.
These children are using cell-hones as mp3 players for one. Listening to digital music.
And, they are sharing music illegally, which basically means, they’re spending a lot of time with their ear to the phone. Not only are they swapping songs, they’re entering dangerous territory by using the phone next to their young brains.
One of our neighbors walks her dogs every day. She’s on her cell phone every time we see her drive or walk by. I know lots of people love talking on their mobile when they’re out and about.
But when the calling behavior results in sloppy driving, inconsiderate and loud talking - as in restaurants, illegal sharing of music, and a general nervous tension in the person being called at ALL times, the cell phone has turned into a addictive gadget. I’m referring to the ‘I can’t live without it’ feeling you get from people with mobiles glued to their bodies at all hours. Interrupting any and all conversations when their phone chirps.
Must be the same parents who are giving their eight-year-young kid a cell phone. Ugh.
May your ears ring to another much more uplifting tune – the sounds on The Secret Power of Words and Music CDs. They won’t harm or disrupt your day. Far from it. Listen to this music and you’ll be reminded at how powerful positive sounds truly are.
