I know that you have so happens... you sit at a table with a friend or group of friends. You talk about your trip, a funny incident at work or something else. You would think that all you hear (and actually is). But then one of the phones of your friends starts to do "Well, Well, Well, Well", or worse, you will hear a ringtone and one picks up the phone or watching that flew him to a new phone. Often, at this moment you go into the pause mode and the story loses the emotional charge you carry. And check this: take in hand the phone off the table and your friends to do the same without any particular purpose. Perhaps you do not notice all this, but pay attention.
And ask yourself this question: "So you have gathered and moved into one establishment throughout the crowd. But at some point, someone whom you do not even name, obtains the exclusive right to terminate all of you just dial the number. When it became normal, and why we tolerate this? "
If you are sick of it as I do, here are a very entertaining game that can solve the problem of constantly distracting phone.
The game is called Phone Stack and was invented by a New Yorker Brian Perez, who described it in his blog. The gist of it is that everyone put their phones in a heap on the whole duration of gatherings. First, who will want to and will not be able to take hold and see that it is happening on the phone, pay the total bill for all the participants. If no one will touch your phone, then the account is divided between all the usual manner adopted in your company.
I'm looking forward to the arguments of some of your friends, who are confident that his work so important that it can not and is not a second to look at the phone's screen. Ask yourself this question and answer frankly to him: "Why are you called it, if it all my consciousness sits in your phone, not with you? "Most often, such a person better to cut it out of the company as well as a practical sense of it is not in such a meeting.
Be honest with yourself and take time real friends, not virtual "Friend".
