RIDGE.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR
COMMENT.
CELL PHONES ARE DEFINITELY HOT
BUTTON ISSUE
WHERE WE CAN USE THEM AND WHEN
EVERYONE SEEMS TO HAVE THEIR
OWN
RULES ABOUT WHAT IS
APPROPRIATE FOR CELL PHONE USE.
>>Brittany: WE ENLISTED THE
HELP OF AN EXPERT , SUSAN IS
THE DIRECTOR OF THE LYNCHBURG
AND ROANOKE VALLEY NATIONAL
LEAGUE OF JUNIOR.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING
ON.
I'M EXCITED.
COMMUNICATING IS DIFFERENT NOW
THAN IT WAS EVEN LIKE10 YEARS
AGO.
YOU HAVE A FEW GUIDELINES.
WE WILL START OFF WITH CELL
PHONES BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT
SEEMS TO BE RULING THE WORLD.
>> ESPECIALLY OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
A COUPLE RULES TO KEEP IN MIND
FOR CELL PHONES IS NO CALLS AT
DINNER TIME
.
WE WILL TALK ABOUT TEXTING IN A
FEW MINUTES
.
>>Natalie: DON'T TAKE THE CAL
NUMBER ONE, IF YOU HAVE A
LANDLINE ODDS ARE YOU ARE GOING
TO GET A PHONE CALL AT DINNER
TIME AND AS A TELEMARKETER.
EVEN IF YOU ARE ON THE DO NOT
CALL LIST.
BETWEEN 5:00 P.M. AND 7:00 P.M.
JUST DON'T CALL.
I HAVE A FRIEND WHO CALLS
EVERYDAY AT 6 O'CLOCK TONIGHT
LIKE REALLY?
YOU DON'T WANT TO CALL TOO
LATE.
A BASIC RULE IS NO CALLS AFTER
9:00 P.M. IF YOU ARE A YOUNG
PERSON MAYBE 9:30 P.M. IF YOU
ARE AN OLDER PERSON FOR.
>>Brittany: MY COUGH WOULD BE
LIKE AFTER 7:00 P.M.I PUT MY
KIDS TO BED AND I GOT A PHONE
CALL AT 8:30 P.M. AND I
ANSWERED AND WAS LIKE WILSON,
I'M REALLY
SORRY BUT YOU ARE
CALLING AT 8:30 P.M.
>> IN THE MORNING, SAME THING.
NOTHING LIKE GETTING A CALL AT
7:30 A.M.. SO KEEP IN MIN
WHERE YOU ARE LIVING.
IF YOU'RE IN HAWAII AND YOU'RE
MAKING A PHONE CALL FOR SOMEONE
IN HAWAII AND IT IS 3:00 A.M.
THERE, THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND.
9 O'CLOCK IS THE EARLIEST
SOMEONE SHOULD CALL YO
>>Natalie: YOU ALSO STATE CALLS
SHOULD NOT BE LONGER THAN 12 TO
15 MINUTES.
KEEP THEM SHORT IF THEY ARE AT
THOSE TIMES.
>> NOTHING AGAINST YOU BUT WE
DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU TALKING
CONTINUALL
>>Natalie: LET'S TALK ABOUT
TEXTING BECAUSE THAT IS HUGE
RIGHT NOW.
NUMBER ONE, IS TO EXERCISE
PATIENCE IF YOU DON'T GET A
REPLY RIGHT AWAY.
>> IT IS HARD.
WE REALLY NEED TO LET THESE
PEOPLE HAVE TIME.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON
IN THEIR LIVES.
MAYBE THEY JUST NEED SOME TIME
TO RESPOND.
>>Natalie: MAYBE THEY ARE IN
THE MOVIES.
ALWAYS RESPOND.
>>Brittany: I AM BAD ABOUT
THAT.
>>Natalie: AND KEEP THE OTHER
PERSON SCHEDULE IN MIND.
>> OBVIOUSLY I'M TEXTING YOU AT
11 O'CLOCK MIGHT NOT BE THE
SMARTEST IDEA.
>>Brittany: WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT THAT.
WHEN WE GET PHONE CALLS OR
TEXTS OF 11 WE ARE LIKE DON'T
YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO FOR A
LIVING?
AVOID SARCAS
>> YOU NEVER KNOW.
>>Natalie: I GUESS WITH THE
EMOJI'S IN KEEP ON GOING BUT
CHECK SPELLING AND DON'T RELY
ON AUTOCORRECT.
THAT IS SO TRUE.
THAT IS GOT ME SO MANY TIME
>> IT IS HYSTERICAL WHEN YOU
READ SOME OF THEM.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ARE SENDING
OUT THERE.
WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT TEXT IS
GOING TO THE CORRECT PERSON AS
WELL
>>Brittany: WE ARE RUNNING OUT
OF TIME SO LET'S GO THROUGH A
COUPLE.
IF YOU ARE MEETING SOMEONE
RUNNING LATE TEXT TO THE
PERSON.
THAT MAKES SENSE.
DON'T TEXT IN ALL CAPITAL
LETTERS.
I'M SO GUILTY OF THAT BUT IT IS
BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO EXPRESS
HOW I
ACTUALLY SPEAK.
WHICH I AM .
BE AWARE OF PEOPLE YOU ARE WITH
AND DON'T TEXT OR TALK WHILE
DRIVING.>>Natalie: PLEASE
DON'T DO THAT.
SO IF PEOPLE WANT MORE
INFORMATIO
, HOW DID THEY DO
THAT
