We all know that mobile phones, cellphones, hand-phones, whatever we want to call them (and
shouldn't we all be calling them the same thing?) are changing our lives. But it takes a good ol-fashioned
survey to wake us up to glaring reality: they have changed who we are. The mobile phone has indeed changed
the way we behave. But perhaps we don't realize how much we have become its slave. Consider other
-'l
elements of the Siemens Mobile Survey: With the exception of Ausffalia, in every country surveyed the
majority polled said they would go back their phone if they left it at home (in Aushalia it was a respectable
le%1. tf yor've endured the traffic in Indonesia, the Philippines and India, you'll know what kind of sacrifice
some two-thirds of those surveyed are making. I can't think of any*ring I would go back for - except my
wallet, maybe, or my clothes.
And even if we remember to bring it, we're still not huppy. Many of us get anxious if hasn't mng or
a text message hasn't appeared for a while (a while being about an hour). Once again of those surveyed,
Indonesians (65%) and Filiphinos (77%) get particularly jittery. Australians are more laid back about this

 (20%), but every other user in Asia seems to be glancing at the phone every few second. This statistic, I
have to say, is highly believable, and the instinct highly annoying. There's nothing worse than chatting to
someone who constantly checks his or her hand-phone.
Then there's the fact that mobile phones are not only enslaving the user, they're trampling the
rights of everyone else. Around a third of folk surveyed acknowledge they get so engrossed in mobile
conversations thay they're often unaware of speaking loudly white discussing their private lives in public. At
least most of us agree on one thing: with the exception of China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, the increasing use
ofmobile phones has led to a decline in courtesy and considerate behavior.
The bottom line here is that we are more than a little bit out of control. Mobile phones are great: but
if we allow them to dominate our lives to this extent - intemrpting conversations with those around us to
take a call, staring at our phones rather than relating to the world and people around us, sending flirty text
massages to rand m numbers - then I can only assume that can another 10 years, society as we know it will
no longer exist. All we'll see is a blur of digital data going out and having all the fun, socializing, falling in
love, and taking sneaky pictures ofeach other.

Sometimes experience in other countries can help people to understand their own identity better.
Mahatma Gandhi rrui bo* in 1869 at Portandar in Western India. After studying in India, he dreamt of
going to England to study. He was told that his Hindu religion did not allow voyages abroad. However,
CurJni *u. ,r.ry determined and he finally left for England in 1887. At first, he tried to leam to behave like
an English gentleman, but he soon learnt that it was better to be himself. He studied law in London'
qualifying in l89l . He also leamt about other religions.
He returned home to India and worked as a lawyer for two years. After some problems, he was
offered a job in South Africa. Here he experienced racism as a member of the Indian community. He
decided to frght for the rights of Indians using "passive resistance". He had three main beliefs, namely
non-violence, religious tolerance and truth. When he finally returned to India in 1915, he became a great
political leader. During the frght for independence, he was often put in prison, but his beliefs never changed.
Gandhi had studied inBritain, so he understood the British better that they understood him. Gandhi's
leadership led to independence, but, on Indepencence Day, l5th August, 1947,Gandhi refused to celebrate.
He was in favor of Hindu-Muslim unity, but Muslims and Hindus could not agree, so a separate Muslim
state was formed in Pakistan. ln 1948, Gandhi started fasting to death as a protest against fighting between
India and Pakistan. He was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic on 30 th January 1948. India and Pakistan are
still figlrting in Kashmir today. The fight for independence was a difficult one, but not as difficult as the
fight for non-voilence, religious tolerance and truth.
