A few days ago I was in a restaurant and I started to observe the behavior of people, one thing I can say: our inseparable companion of the future and of all hours, sure, will be the mobile phone, for many is already an extension. hands and constant collaboration, of which I have no doubt. Some couples were at the same table, but each involved with their own camera, were attentive to messages that appeared in the inboxes or were busy writing at incredible speed, it looked like a championship, the younger ones typed with both hands on the At the same time, the elders, newly introduced to the team, did so with one hand. Some, still embarrassed by the news, “harvested corn. “
People entertained themselves with their respective teams and paid no attention to who was by their side, in their entourage, who would say on the shuttle of those who arrived and left the restaurant. in front of or next to a table, patiently, in vain trying to take control, in some orders were placed quickly, but in others, the coffeemakers had to wait a long time and would certainly need a lot of work, because the person barely looked up from the cell phone screen, especially if he was in the middle of the message and there they stayed long minutes waiting for the call to end or to be sent , there is patience on the part of the servers and lack of education on the part of the customers!
- Some people think that by being behind mobile and portable phones.
- They can do anything.
- Can they be rude.
- Daring.
- Rude?It’s very common to find people.
- In applications that.
- When we greet them.
- Take 2 to 3 days to give us an answer.
- There are still those who believe that they don’t even have to answer.
- Besides.
- There are others that let us talk alone in front of a question.
- That’s when the subjects don’t even come back.
- It is technological innovations that are part of our modern world with all the electronic paraphernalia available on the market and which.
- In some cases.
- Only reinforce the scarcity or lack of education.
- Any educated person is educated under any circumstances.
- With or without a mobile phone.
- With or without a laptop.
- Regardless of the application used.
Some couples with young children, in an attempt to talk a little or deal with everyday problems, which cannot be talked about during the week, handed the device over to the children so they could take a short break and meet. parents tried to have a decent dialogue or sometimes start long discussions full of gestures and “washing dirty laundry,” tears flowing, or someone was leaving the table tapping with their foot, toward the bathroom or exit door.
There were still very busy couples with mobile phones and fighting each other to see who would take the child to the bathroom. The father asked his son to wait a while, because he was almost done with the message. He said to the boy, “Just wait a minute, son, I’m done and then I’ll take you. “The woman said, without raising her sight of her cell phone keyboard, to hurry, otherwise the child would pee on her pants, and she said he was wrong and placed more emphasis on the messages than on the child, but she herself did not let go of her device. Others, more insecure, asked their spouses who they were talking to, wondering who. It was so important and didn’t allow you to stop for a minute?
A few tables away were a large family, in which only the elderly did not have a cell phone at hand. Amazing as people still think: at this table they argued, as I had not seen in a long time, they tasted the food served and commented. It felt like a family reunion because several generations gathered there. Laughing, remembering the facts, making a gesture In the meantime, the younger ones, all bored, seemed to want to run to the exit door and were distracted with their respective devices or talking to each other through existing apps, laughing a lot. They paid little attention to the food placed on the table, at the end, to the speech the Patriarch had decided to give at a certain time during the meal. The children barely heard his words. They laughed, whispered, ran, played, but paid no attention to what the father said. The latter, in order to attract the attention of young people and children, struck a bottle of wine with a fork, but nevertheless failed to achieve its goal. No one of the younger generation paid attention to what he said!
Hours passed, people left, others came in and waiters ran from table to table with their notebooks hoping to get the order out quickly and overlook the children running between the tables screaming loudly. The restaurant was very familiar, of the kind that families seek on Sundays to make a good meal and still be able to take their children, because there was no restriction or freshness, as I had seen in so many others. Do you know these restaurants where the waiter seems crooked if the child shakes his leg, cries, takes the menu and starts asking the meaning of the elements?Are these establishments where they look at our car and wonder if we can pay the bill?
It was a very simple and pleasant restaurant. Most people seemed to be made up of regulars, some welcoming and hugging the waiters with some familiarity. The food was good and the price, as my dear friend Carlinhos said, “honest”. in it: people spoke to each other; Couples who have decided to make up for it; customers who were looking for a delicious meal, but who barely paid attention to what they ate, who said the flavors they ate; And so many others who had gone in search of a pleasant conversation and barely spoke?There were people anyway, it was another Sunday in the warm company of the family or in the isolation of the mobile phone, educated and unededed!
