When I was a kid I was taught that you stand up when meeting someone, address your elders as "ma'am" or "sir", and turn the television off when visitors come to your home. No one does any of those things anymore. Even shaking hands seems to be going away, replaced by touching knuckles if any kind of physical contact is involved in a greeting at all.Eventually we'll develop some kind of etiquette for cell phone use, and that etiquette may just be that you always answer it when it rings and talk extra-loud while you're using it.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Not to mention that all those irritating cell-phone-using drivers may be just as bad at driving when they're not on the phone.</blockquote>
