Maybe when a social gathering starts you could just ask everyone if they would like to have a no-screens norm. People who want a screen ban would say why, and so would the ones who are opposed. I am thinking that this might work because someone who would want to take out their phone would be unhappy if someone else did, but feels like he or she can't stop it because it is an acceptable norm today. Maybe the person even realizes they have an addiction and would appreciate help fighting it. Maybe you could set a norm of only two minutes on the phone. Maybe people could think of other ideas. Maybe nothing would be decided on, but it would be an interesting discussion. We could even have a web site where people would describe what happened. Speaking of which, are there any sites on overcoming web addiction?
