Quite right.
If Cabin Crew ask for no electrical items to be used then I will not go against their word, nor should any other pax. I don't like it when people ignore my instructions at work, so I do not treat others that way either. If people continually ignore CC then who knows where we will be in a few years time? Total ban on cameras and phones in hand luggage? Video cameras and iPhones being taken away at security? We'd only have ourselves to blame if it became like that.
If they don't see you or ignore you then fair enough, but if they ask you to turn it off then simply do so. It's not hard to do as they request.
