For those of you who provided HW#2 to me today in class via a hard copy or email, please post your answers/comments to the Rowe questions as soon as possible.
Que #1 1) How do you feel when you hear other people's cell phone conversations in public spaces? Why?
Ans #1 Cell phones have become a part of everyday life. Actually, many people enjoy talking on cellular phones in public places, but I think that they disturb and annoy me if the conversation is too loud. For instance, a month ago, when I was at the airport waiting for a flight, three women were sitting around me. Then, one of them started talking very loudly on her cell phone with her boyfriend. I was reading a book and couldn’t concentrate. Furthermore, to make matters worse, the other two women also received calls on their cell phones. They were all three yakking away for twenty minutes. I felt really annoyed and tried to show it by complaining to all three women in a polite way.
Que #2 In your view, what is Rowe's strongest argument against cell phones? What is his weakest? Why?
Ans # 2 In my opinion, Rowe’s strongest argument against cell phones is noise pollution. In public places, everybody is busy on their cell phones. They become forget that other people around there are going to be distracting and annoying. The weakest point of Rowe is that cell phones take away from their family and friends. I think cell phone is a way to keep touch with our family and friends. When you are far away from your relative or friends then you can talk to them by using cell phones .
A loud isolated sound or noise in a otherwise quite place can be very annoying. It does not matter what the sourse of the sound is. If you are in a somewhat quite place, for example, hospital, office area or a library, and someone is talking loudly with other people or even to himself it can be very disturbing to people around who are quitely trying to concentrate on their work, study, thought or even a nap. To me, it does not matter what is the purpose of the conversation. I sometimes come accross people in a public place talking very softly on the cell phone, and i am fine with it. It is only that most people mistakenly think that the person on the other side of the phone can not hear them if they do not speak louder than their usual tone.
