Mind Your Digital Manners

A benefit to today’s advancing mobile technology is that using the newest devices whenever and wherever is easier than ever. While it’s important to be plugged in while you are on the go, it’s also vital to remember your digital manners as to not disturb others and ensure you are safe, as well. Using headphones, turning down the screen brightness and not texting while walking in crowded places are effective means that lead to better mobile etiquette. U.S. Cellular will host a free Device Workshop in Kearney, where associates can help show how to safely use your phone in public without being a nuisance to yourself and others. The workshop is open to everyone. You do not need to be a U.S. Cellular customer to attend. “It is really amazing how engaging and connected we have become to the latest smartphone, wearable device and everything else in between,” said Mike Adams, U.S. Cellular’s director of sales for Nebraska and Iowa. “But it’s also crucial that we don’t use that connectedness to ignore the hustle and bustle of our everyday surroundings. Luckily, these workshops and our associates are a great resource to help practice courteous mobile etiquette that everyone can enjoy and appreciate.” Please call 308-236-2075 for more information.
