Has technology ruined the art of conversation?
#9
RE: Has technology ruined the art of conversation?
My ex-boyfriend paid more attention to his phone than to me about 80% of the time whenever we'd go out anywhere. That's not the main reason we aren't together anymore, but it sure didn't help. This is definitely one of my pet peeves.

I also play tabletop rpgs (such as D&D) and I've had to make a hard rule about restricting electronic devices at the table. Some people just can't set their phones down for more than five minutes. I have to gather them up and put them in another room before we can start.
