Should You Need A License To Operate A Mobile Phone?
from the how-to-deal-with-idiots dept
It's no secret that there are a lot of idiotic people out there, and when you put mobile phones in the hands of such people, they tend to do (you guessed it) idiotic things. However, it seems a bit extreme to suggest that people should be required to get a license to operate a mobile phone. The suggestion appears to be (half) joking, but even the list of "example" test questions are a bit silly. Proper mobile phone etiquette is simple: don't annoy other people. Anything you do with your mobile phone that will involve annoying or potentially harming others is probably a bad idea. If it's not going to do that, then you're probably fine.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
