Mobile phones have been the bane of my existence ever since my dad received one from work. Since that time, the interruptions to important events, fun games, etc, caused by cell phones so completely outnumbers anything else that I cannot think of another category of interruption. You aren't "together" if even 1 person is looking at their phone. Want to kill the moment? Just check your phone and everything will grind to a halt. It's more fun playing a board game with a person who can't focus, than with someone who compulsively checks their phone.
