Speaking of unwanted guests at the dinner table, do you and your loved ones have rules in place for keeping out
too much technology?
Justin and I ignore our
phones during dinner together. And I leave my phone on silent during most of my
time at home. (Remember those prehistoric times – back in the 90’s – when you
could simply be unavailable?) Periodically I need to take time off from technology, or at
least from being “plugged in.” I crave down time.
And lately when Justin and I
are out and about, doing errands and all of the boring but beautiful things
that a pair of 20-something fiancés does in their spare time, I joke about scenarios
like “No phones while waiting on the Duane Reade checkout aisle!” Ironically
the only time we’re all about being on our respective smartphones is when we’re
in taxis. We’re both susceptible to nausea brought on by reading in moving
vehicles. (That’s the technical term of course.)
I read this Huffington Post article
recently, which points out that we’re all “social zombies, alone together.”
I’m curious. Do you consider
your phone a limb of sorts? Or do you ban technology from your kitchen table? What
do you do, in terms of staying on, or disconnecting?

P.S. The March issue of Women’s Health magazine reveals that
“Having a phone out or texting” is the #1 reason a first date doesn’t make it
to the second round.
P.P.S. in the April issue of
Health magazine, editors provide “A
new reason to power down… Those of us who media multitask are up to 70 percent
more likely to have symptoms of anxiety and depression.”
