For all the 'power' these smart phones have given us, it fills me with confusion, pity and annoyance when I walk in to someone's house only to see all the inhabitants looking down at their phones. Occasionally, they'll be engaging on the same content/media, reacting digitally and sometimes (as it's usually humorous) verbally. I've banned phones at the dinner table (mine only) and for a future vacation, will set out very clear 'acceptable usage' limits to my wife. I'd like to think I could give up mine but still a sucker for a good meme to lift me times are low.
