Is it time for Nanny McPhee?

Here's a quick quiz.  Can you spot good manners from bad manners in the following pictures?






Whoops!  They all show BAD manners.

Yesterday's (Sunday, April 17th) New York Times had a piece by David Carr entitled, "Keep Your Thumbs Still When I’m Talking to You."  The article will resonate with other Old Dogs, but it should be required reading for everyone with a smartphone!

How many of you share our frustration and annoyance when those with whom we are speaking tune out, or should we say "text out"?  Isn't it time for some help from Nanny McPhee?



David Carr offers a very good, "Guide to Smartphone Manners" that we recommend.

As the saying goes, Behave or Beware.
