LOL, yea, my sarcasm came out.
I was at a fine-dining place last week having supper with a business associate and just observed families out doing the same. Almost every table, young and old, had their neck's bent looking at their smart phones instead of good old fashioned talking. One younger family with two children all had them out before their meals came out and I thought how sad.
I'm sure they would have preferred text messaging their meal orders to the waitress rather than verbally order.
