Question on meaning                                                

1. I regard privacy in the anywhere at any time. I don’t want others to get involve to my privacy and I am not interest in other’s privacy. There are plenty of conversations that I don’t care people talk on cell phone in public, except personal privacy. Space and privacy are the perfect distance between two people when one is talking on the phone in public. I feel extremely uncomfortable when I hear other’s cell phone conversation loudly about personal privacy in the public space. People use public space for group or individual activities, but not for private business. Sometime, they aren’t intentionally to share they privacy loudly on cell phone in the public which I don’t mind and I will try to be accommodating. However, they should be careful on what they are saying. I can understand and accept those people who talk loudly on cell phones about important matters or business works. If I hear people’s cell phones conversation about their personal lives or private secretes, I will move away from them. Especially when they speak with dirty words, I will turn a long headache from a relaxation.

2. In my view, Rowe’s strongest argument against cell phones is that cell phones are like cigarettes. Cells phones have the same impact on people’s health as cigarettes. They are gradually invade to people’s life when use normally. The most effective impact is that people can’t stop using cell phones once they become addicted to them. As Rowe says that using cell phones are the same as smoking, they produce secondhand noise, just as cigarettes produce secondhand smoke. The pollution of secondhand noise will be more serious than secondhand smoke and it will become a biggest issue in the next decade. The weakest argument against cell phones is to prove Quite Cars for non cell phones users as the way they provide No Smoking Cars for non smoker. In my opinion, I think this a thoughtful idea for people, like me, who want to have a quiet environment during traveling. However, this idea doesn’t have a great impact on people who enjoy working while they are traveling. In the age of technology, people have their own model of travel. Instead of having a Quite Cars without cell phones, they prefer to sit together in the Noise Cars.
