I think it's the height of rudeness when I am out even with Mrs and she is constantly texting or play word games on her bloody phone. It's kind of like, I love you but I am bored when I am out with you!!!!! I don't get the need to have a phone constantly in your hand but then I guess I am just old and I remember how good life was before the phone addiction thing happened.

Especially with the young kids! I often wonder how much their monthly mobile phone bills would cost? What else do young kids use their phones for apart from the normal calling, texting, Facebooking, taking photos, listening to music and playing games? How hard or easy do they need to ask their parents to get them one since they are not yet financially independent? I am not criticising anyone here please don't get me wrong, just curious to know how the young kids get around with owning electronic devices and other costly materials in this new age/generation :-)

At my work, and every second couple (mainly women) were updating their Facebook status about their romantic night, rather than talking to their partners. Haha! if its not on facebook it didnt happen right? We also do a lot of weddings, and it's becoming more and more common for the bride and groom to ask people to put away their phones for the night....and usually, people's participation in the dancing an what not goes up a notch.

It goes everywhere with me, with a few exceptions. If we're out to dinner or entertaining at home, it stays away. Likewise, we make a point of leaving our phones somewhere else at dinner time - our boys are only little (6&8) but old enough for us to set good examples. I do think phones are killing the art of conversation - my niece was once sat right next to her bestie and they were both using Facebook chat to talk!!! Texting has its place too - I text loads every day. But I pick up the phone and call too so understanding when each I'd appropriate is important I think. Mrs - Posted from rhpmobile

I was out to a thai dinner with my daughter late last year, and sitting at the table beside us was a young asian couple.For the entire duration of their meal, they sat opposite each other, gazing into not each others eyes, but their phone screens... and barely said a word.Little miss blondie, ever observant and hilarious bugger that she is (just like her dad ).... commented that they were on a date and probably texting each other because they had no idea how to actually talk to a real person.Who knows. Maybe she was right.DG

If Im out' I dont take my phone or I switch it off til I get back to my car... I think its the height of rudeness to ignore the people your with. Its like saying ' I dont think your important enough to worth missing a call or text for ' ... rude..Great idea... everyone puts their mobile in the middle and who ever answers pay's the bill... I'll remember that....

We found we had a great night the conversation got better as the night went on and we thought it was due to the fact that no one was distracted by the phone (Couldn't have anything to do with the wine ) - Posted from rhpmobile

I do look at my phone alot. I check the weather, price of fuel, bank balance, any question that I think off; I google it. Then Facebook, eBay, gumtree, catchoftheday, I have the woolworths app. Etc etc, Being out with someone doesn't stop me checking something online. I've even had a man here and we both checked out rhp at the same time.- Posted from rhpmobile

There is no better mood killer than a mobile phone coming out at the dinner table. It leaves the dinner partner sitting there awkwardly feeling as though they are not interesting or important enough for someone to disengage from the digital world and enter the real world for an hour or so. I think people do it these days because they have lost the art of conversation and keeping the conversation going. They don't know what to do in the awkward silences so they pull out the phone. We do use our phones at the table when we're together, but that's usually Mr Otori taking an awkward photo of me trying to eat dinner in peace, checking into a place on FB or discussing the latest RHP couple/ interesting gadget we have discovered. I think it's fine to use the smartphone if it's stimulating interaction with the people at your table but not if the phone is taking you out of that space.

I never use my phone when out to dinner with someone or usually at a gathering. When we have parties at home I leave a bucket at the front door for mobiles. Everyone's gotten to know no txting in my backyard. Most of our friends leave them in thier cars now. I think they enjoy the break from them too. Me, I need to distance myself from the phone more; sometimes it really annoys me how it seems to "control" or "beckon". And yes, they are affecting the way we connect with each other and not necessarily in a good way. OS- Posted from rhpmobile

My mobile makes phone calls ...Fucking amazing I don’t care what you’re doing now, where you are , what you ate for dinner or who you’re going to visit, fact is no one cares what you’re doing. As for leaving your phones in the middle of the table that is a brilliant idea. We have done simular where the first phone to ring has to buy the next round of drinks

My phone stays in my car, or in my bike jacket.. OUTSIDE.. If I am talking with you..and you take your phone out and use it, I will walk away.. And not come back.. IF you wish, you can come after me, but, do it again, and I MAY tell you to stay away. I got up half way through more then one meal, and cancelled the date.. AND family functions. Call me a pig, or anything you wish, but, if your phone is more important, then take it on a fckn date.. not me.

I have teenaged girls in my care and we all know how addicted they are to their phones. The one hard and fast rule in my home is that when we sit down at the table for a meal...... The phone stays unanswered. The world will still be spinning in half an hour. Some struggle with this but they all do it anyway. Some eat incredibly fast when their phone starts going off. - Posted from rhpmobile

All venues, be it sporting arenas concerts Shopping malls and restaurants should be made to install safe lockers (Similar to cloak rooms) for mobiles to be submitted before entry into any facility, there is absolutely no need for them in public arenas.

when our kids visit, we now ask them to leave their phones in the car...so they actually have a conversation with us...eye to eye....sick and tired of them sitting face down into their phones, its rude and frustrating..... when guests visit..ie friends or even playmates, we hope they have the common courtesy to either switch them to silent, or leave them in the car. If they don't, and its an obvious issue, we don't rush to invite them back.......

but only because my computers broken. It's taking me ages to do anything, because I'm very old fashioned. My phone is generally used as one thing - a phone. I remember going out to lunch with some new friends recently, only for them to sit on their phones having a Facebook conversation. Needless to say, I never had lunch with them again, and it would certainly be a deal killer on a date. Unless it's work or an emergency, nobody I know even calls me on my mobile anymore.

Everywhere you look...someone has something in their hand....and not in a good way. Its eitehr in their hand...or by their ear.Why the fuk would I go out for dinner, somewhere nice (most often than not) with someone I wanted to see and share delicious food with and play with my phone...or text other people whilst I am with that person? Why I ask....Is it really that necessary...important? I can't imagine it is a crisis...otherwise you wouldn't be out eating together.It gives me the shits and yes sorry I am very opinionated on this subject cause it shits the hell out of me, how many people do this. They might as well have saved their money and stayed at homeMaybe its because I am such a food lover too and like to concentrate on excellent food.....you cant do this and text at the same time.It shows rudeness. I stay off my phone when I'm in a mans company...I would find it a complete turn off if he was at it (his phone I mean)

And its probably just me... but my mobile phone bill is only so high, and I'm only addicted to Marvel War of Heroes, purely because my social life is nonexistent, and my sex life is deader than Kennedy. That said, I pick it up almost religiously every 2-3 hours out of habit, or more out of boredom. I like conversation, and I like sex even better, however.... my generation is so "depersonalized", too much so for either. I remember this one time, I was walking down queen street, no joke, and these two girls were so busy texting and talking they nearly tripped me right the fuck over, if I hadn't of steadied myself I could've fallen on my ass. Those stupid scags didn't even watch where they were going... and they didn't even notice they'd tripped me, until they were about three feet in front, so they look back, apologize half-heartedly and laugh ttheir heads off. So yes, get rid of the fucking mobile phone for the under 25's.... seriously. that is a true story and it makes me sick!!!!

I never go without my phone, BUT, with the do not disturb feature on the iPhone 5 only a few numbers I have selected can contact me after 7pm... So if it rings, I know it from very important people who really need to speak to me... Everyone else who calls goes straight to my voicemail and I don't even know they have called unless I check... Great feature!! - Posted from rhpmobile

I don't have a problem with mobile phones or the internet, what I don't like is mobile phones being used for the internet, unless its for business related purposes. Phones are for calling or texting . Computers are for the internet. If you can't wait until you get home and use your computer to tell the Facebook world what you just had for lunch, then YOU have a problem. Two of my work mates have internet on their phones and I haven't heard a word from them at smoko or lunch for over 6 months. Its food in one hand, phone in the other and both on Facebook. If people would spend half the time looking into how the banks, insurance and government screw us everyday as they did on Facebook, the world would be a better place. But as long as everyone on Facebook knows what you had for lunch, then that's all that really matters, isn't it ? And if you can take a selfie while having lunch, well that's even better, isn't it ? And have you been to a trivia night in the last year or so ? It is a pointless night now because all you see is every one reach for their phone to google the answer, completely defeating the point of the trivia night. Its not called a "who can google the fastest night", is it ?

I really had no desire to socialise with them outside of work or speak to them about non-work related things. The internet is great for avoiding having to talk to people you really don't like all that much. - Ms Otori

Thank you for your opinion. But the thing for me is, we all pretty much work with people we don't want to talk to or socialise with. If we all went and buried our heads in our phones then it won't be long before society losses all ability to socialise or communicate properly. You can still talk to your work mates without having to be best friends or socialise with them. Its harmless chatter at the lunch table. And while people ignore each other at work then its only going to be a more unbearable work place as it simmers away until it all erupts. The work mates I'm referring to both looked at Facebook every smoko and every lunch. Food in one hand, phone in the other. All they were doing was looking at useless information with no substance to it, but apparently that is more important than having a conversation like NORMAL people should be doing. Many times one of the two were asked a question, but were so caught up in Facebook that they didn't even respond. This is the height of rudeness, regardless of whether you like the person or not. Seriously but, what can be on Facebook that is so important that you can't even respond ? Some of us like the art of conversation, others prefer to bury their heads in their phones, while eating at the same time.

i am showing my age here, but when i was growing up and went out with my friends, i got the stern tone "make sure you are home before dark!"and it was my A S S if i got home after dark.no cell phones to fall back on in an emergency.how did we survive?i have seen two year old kids playing with mom's cell phone and they KNOW how to work it.and they cant even read.creepy.while there are many benefits to mobile phones today, most have this little function that is called AIRPLANE MODE, so the is no excuse for taking a call while you are out unless you are on call for work or have a million dollar deal riding on that call.if you go out with friends, put the thing on airplane mode, or here is a novel idea:LEAVE IT AT HOME.
