Being in a non-stop, always on the go, 24/7 societies, it's always a wonder when people have time to themselves, time to converse face-to-face and enjoy a break from work. However, it seems no one does actually turn off from working, cyber world, as looking around there is always some obnoxious person yelling down a mobile phone.
Have you ever been in a restaurant trying to have a little peace and quiet, to enjoy the company of those around you, and then you hear the buzzing vibrations or stupid ringtones some idiot has downloaded, only to have your conversation halted by distractions of " HELLO? WHAT? YEAH? CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW. NO? REALLY? HA HA HA.." and so on. You either get involuntarily involved in listening to the weird and wonderful details of the details of the life of the person across the dining room to you, or maybe it's a member of your own party on the dreaded phone contraption preferring the company of someone half way round the world to your own. Either way you would agree that mobile phones are a nuisance in public places such as restaurants.
Isn't it time to stop this isolation and begin to CHAT; to converse and interact with those already present and to get Calls Halted At Table.
