Smartphone users on planes should consider others

ONE AFTER ANOTHER, domestic airlines have lifted the ban on using cellphones on flights. However, there have already been complaints about the noise nuisance as people are using their smartphones without using earphones. Beijing News comments:

Jessie J, a UK-based singer, recently posted several video clips online showing a Chinese flight, in which two other passengers on her flight watched videos on their smartphones without using earphones.

That incident aroused fierce discussion online. To quote one hot comment, "Our last quiet hours - during a flight - are gone".
