The Tragedy of Mobile Silencer

The Idea: "What if we can set daily or weekly profile for silence in mobile. Like I set my device to go silence from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm, Monday to Friday, and then come to normal mode. Plus it will be great if there is a higher level setting to over-ride that. Like if I plan to go for a meeting with a client or my boss for two hours at 4.00pm , I can set my mobile to go to silence from 4.00pm to 6.00 pm."

Story And Motivation Behind:

A Tragedy for me and all. Happens over and over again

Yesterday it crossed the limit.

I shifted to a new flat. Things were all scattered and I was tired and hungry. An Idea clicked to my mind...... that I'll cook some noodles first and have it with my friend and then start over the good work.

It was really amazing. We enjoyed it and I was happy, we did that.

Few minutes later, I wanted my mobile. It was not in my pocket. It was not in the room. Not in Kitchen. :( Nowhere. I knew it was there but it was not there. It was somewhere in the mess of the house.

I called from my friends mobile. But, but, I realized that it was in silence mode. And, ahhhh.... it was a tough time finding it. I had to toss everything up and down, every single piece of paper and book and cloth and bags. And it was two hours before I found it sleeping and dreaming at the edge of my bed below the bed-sheet.

I felt helpless,...that only if it was not on silence!!! And this happens over and over again. We come back from office and the mobile is lying in the pocket of the some other pants or on the bed or somewhere. There at some other corner of the city a client or friend is calling us deliberately frustrated that we are not picking up the call, and the very device to help us does what it is told to do.....Stay 'Silent'!!!

I thought of a thing a real IDEA. May be you also would have thought of it, 'coz it is so obvious thing. "What if we can set daily or weekly profile for silence in mobile. Like I set my device to go silence from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm, Monday to Friday, and then come to normal mode. Plus it will be great if there is a higher level setting to over-ride that. Like if I plan to go for a meeting with a client or my boss for two hours at 4.00pm , I can set my mobile to go to silence from 4.00pm to 6.00 pm."

It would be so very GREAT and Convenient for everyone. I always faced this problem when I was a student. I am still facing it when I am working. !!!

We'll soon have better mobile phones with this feature !!! :)
