What has technology done to our sense of dignity?

While at work in the office today I went to the gentleman’s room. I was the only one stood, but a couple of the cubicles were occupied.

Then I heard a mobile phone ringing. It only rang a couple of times.

You know what’s coming don’t you.

Yes, that’s right, after a couple of rings the phone was answered. it didn’t even sound like a very important conversation.

There was a time when such things were unthinkable because you couldn’t take the phone into the gents.

It’s just another example of technology stripping away our dignity.

There are certain things that should always be done in private, but it’s clear that attention addiction has become so engrained in people that they are willing to forego their dignity in order to feed their addiction.
