Last month, Justin Valdez, a college student, was shot in a subway station in San Francisco. The surveillance video  showed that before Justin was killed, the killer pulled out his gun several times, and even wiped his nose with it. However, nobody noticed the killer. The surrounding passengers all focused on their cell phones. We may see the same scene everywhere in our life: in subway stations, restaurants, elevators and so on, people are watching their cell phones. From a family reunion to a date with a friend, people couldn't stop checking their twitter and facebook on the cell phones and ignoring the persons in front completely, Phubbing  not only involves young people, but also the elderly and kids. "Phubbing" is a new term which comes from the words "phone'' and "snub ". It describes the habit of snubbing someone in favor of a cell phone. The word "phubbing" was included in the Australian National Dictionary in 2012. Obviously, the indifference) and rudeness of the information age are spreading globally. A Stop Phubbing campaign website has been set up. You can find the slogan of the website as follows: "stop twittering, stop posting photos...enjoy your food, enjoy the music and respect others." Phubbing appears harmless. However, it does influence our life. Jimmy, an epicure , wrote in his blog: "I can no longer focus on what I am eating since I started twittering. My skill of food photography has improved very fast, while my interest in food drops as a result." Let us put down our cell phones and re-enjoy the real taste of our food and the warmth of interpersonal communication. What will probably happen when you ask a phubbing person for help?
He will give you an immediate reply. He will stop looking at his cell phone. He will pay no attention to you. He will be very angry with you.
