Apparently, over the years manners have been being ignored more and more often with the introduction of technology. A few simple manners to remember and to keep in practice include...
1. Hold doors for people
It shows that you care about whats happening around you, and that you care about others.
2. Give up seats
Give up your seat for someone else that may need it. This does not only include the elderly, pregnant, and disabled, but perhaps for those who are carrying heavy boxes and etc.
3. Let those out the elevator before you get in
It makes it easier for those to get out, it really does.
4. Cell phone manners
Just use your cell phone wisely, don't have inappropriate conversations in public and etc. It's probably best to excuse yourself to somewhere private.
5. Introduce people
When in a group, introduce yourself. Also put in some details, makes it easier to remember.
6. Please, thank you, your welcome
Three good phrases to use to show appreciation and sincerity.
7. Respect elders
Show them at least common courtesy and civility, as they have been living longer than you.
8. Handwrite thank you notes
Shows time taken and thus appreciation and gratitude.
What do you think about these supposedly forgotten manners? I personally never handwrite my thank you notes.

I have to handwrite my thank you notes, but only because my mom makes me. Maybe people are forgetting their manners because they don't feel as connected to other people?
