The folks at Hawk Electronics were curious where customers drew the line when it came to cellphone use, so they decided to email customers and ask. They got responses from 213 women and 245 men, most of them from the DFW area. Here’s what they found:
- 58% said that cell phone users should never send text messages while in a movie theater
· Only 6% believed having a downloaded musical ring tone was appropriate in a work setting
· Respondents were almost evenly split on the possibility of being able to use cell phones on airplanes during flights
· 90% of respondents said that phones should either be turned off completely, not answered and / or checked only during a free moment at a restaurant
- 80% of the respondents admit to talking on their cell phone while driving without the use of a hands-free device;
· Of that same group, 57% believe that it should be against the law to drive and talk on a mobile device without the use of a hands-free device;
· Only 32% admit to having checked e-mail or sending a text message while driving.
I find it hard to believe that 20 percent of these people have never talked on the phone while driving. I find it impossible to believe that anyone supports a move to allow phone calls on airplanes.
