CELL PHONES


An interesting conversation arose at work today. As I mentioned before, that I work with over 6 guys in a computer lab environment. One the guys showed me a picture on his cell phone, and made a point to tell me not to scroll forward or backwards. In which, I told him I wouldn't do that anyway! As a matter of fact I insisted that he continue to hold his phone while he showed me the photo. Of course my reaction was, why would you have to tell someone that, and he indicated that he let another female see a picture on his phone and she continued to look at more photos ending up seeing many photos that wasn't appropriate for her to see.


As all the other guys chimed in the conversation, it was brought up that his cell phone was his own personal device and he could have anything he wanted to have on his cell phone. As the debate continued, mind you, all the guys are married; I asked if his wife had access to his phone if she wanted to. I was so surprised that mostly all said no, that their phone is kept locked and actually 2 of the guys was adamant about the fact that if their wife even ask to be able to look through their phone they would be upset. And I didn't quite understand the problem of either spouse having accessibility to one another's phone, computer etc.

However, I guess it would be a problem if you had something to hide. So one of the guys asked why his wife would ask to look through his phone to begin with, when she had her own. He express that if she needed to use his phone he would dial number for her, hand her the phone, and when she's done she would give right back to him. He also express that if she even asked, then it would be a problem because he would be upset of the fact that she asked. So I made the comment that if the wife sense how protective her husband is being over his phone, with lock codes etc. that would spark an interest of the fact that is he hiding something.   My husband and I both have cell phones, ipads, and laptops, if we ever need to use each other devices, it's no problem... What's your opinion please comment.
