Now computers and mobile phones are more and more important in people’s life. Most Americans believe there are unspoken rules about the manners of using mobile phones.
For example, in the past, checking e-mails, sending text messages and making telephone calls while having dinner with others were impolite. But now things have changed. In Western countries，people used to write a thank-you note when someone helped them. It is used to express their thanks. However, in a online poll (投票), most people said they would not be angry if they received an electronic (电子的) “thank you”. Researchers made a survey on 2,625 adults. Sixty-two per cent of them agreed that cellphones, laptops, were part of daily life.
Fifty-five per cent also thought the needs of business meant people must stay c onnected. If necessary, you can answer a telephone call during a meal.
People are more sensitive (敏感的) about technology use during holiday and religious (宗教的) activities. Nearly 90 per cent of Americans think cellphone use is rude during a religious activity. Besides, on one hand, 30 per cent say they will not be happy if they receive an online gift wish. On the other hand, more than half say that they would like to send an electronic greeting card, instead of a traditional one.
