(Français -Anglais - Espagnole - Russe - Portugais - Allemand)
The world days without mobile
phone were launched on February 6, 2001 on the initiative of the French writer
Phil Marso. Author of a humorous detective novel: Mobile killer without apparent
mobile.
He wanted to extend the subject of the book by a world day without a mobile
phone. He is not against this communication tool.
It proposes a debate of reflection on this object which changed our lives. Phil
Marso has never offered to cut his smartphone during these three days 6, 7, 8
February.
This annual meeting is a pretext for a debate about this communication tool.
Nevertheless you can do an addiction test: cut 1h, 3h, 12h or more to you to see.
In 2018, exceptionally two themes including this one:
« SMARTPHONE : UNCONTROLABLE KILLER ON ROADS »
The 18th campaign of the
World Days without cellphone & Smartphone of February 6, 7, 8, 2018 has for theme: the irresponsible behavior of motorists who use their smartphone while
driving.
Reading or writing messages while driving requires leaving the road for five
seconds. Attention danger !
At the 3rd edition in 2003, Phil Marso had already proposed this theme to
educate motorists on the dangers of mobile phone while driving. Since the advent
of the smartphone, this Swiss technological knife has more attention for
drivers: email, SMS, social networks, etc.
During these three days: 6, 7, 8 February, Phil Marso invites motorists during
their journey to cut their smartphone during three time slots:
6h / 9h (Departure to work) - 12h / 14h (Lunch break) - 18h / 21h. (Back home)
40 questions related to this
civic meeting are proposed to teachers who wish to share this discussion of
reflection with their students.
