this policy needs to be adopted for personal life also not just the business world. When I go out with my lady I turn my phone off. I sometimes want to get up and slap couples at restaurants when I see them staring into their phone more than staring at each other

It is refreshing almost to have the night with your girl without having a cell phone with you. Although some people may need them for work related issues... I still think this generation needs to realize how to take a break from the dang things.

So true. A sense of staying in the moment and separation of device needs to happen or a slave to them we'll remain. When out with my lady my phone is on quiet so that my attention is to her and not more on a device.
A time to check your phone and not check your phone is needed.

If one can not realize when it is approriate to use their phone and when it isn't they shouldn't have a cell phone. At the same time how are you going to tell someone they can't use a device they paid for and pay monthly for as well. It each persons responsibility to use their own device appropriately.

This generation has experienced a technology boom(Baby boom remember,some countries!!!).
The next one is much worse.An example is a relative's 5 years old daughter who received an ipad 3 for christmas!!!WTF!
To be honest,I still use a Nokia 701 when going out especially cause it's solid and easy to use in a hurry and keep my s2 only for indoor.After 1 year,I've noticed that I can actually live with the 701 the way we used to live with feature phones,but much smarter.For the s2,once I touch it,it's total addiction.But it's way much smarter than the Symbian.
