the solution to the restaurant/meals problem is cut the wait staff & have everyone order & schedule their meals on their devices
I fear it's coming

Re: 2014 survey. That describes my idea of purgatory! I went out recently with two other couples to a restaurant, & I kid you not every person, except me, put their phones on the table before they had even taken off the coats & sat down.
I don't want a picture of my food! I want to f'king eat it! The waiter is just that, to wait on your table. He/She is not your personal f'king photographer!I have nephews & neices whose main vocabulary consists of: "Huh." "What." "Yeah." "Dunno." Which I translate to, "Shut the **** up I'm busy talking to Natalie in Papua New Guinea." No you are not. You're talking to some bearded weirdo two streets away!
I wish I hadn't started this. I have just ruined my day.
ps I do not own a smartphone. I have a payg Nokia 6100 that I've had for ever. I only ever turn it on when I'm travelling & need to get hold of the office. Which is rare.

mm. Didn't micro$oft bring out something like that a few years ago. It was a table that had an electronic menu on it, & you dragged the item into a box next to your plate and you hit order. When the bill came you placed your cc next to it and you were charged accordingly. But they are still trying to figure out how to get the grub from the kitchens to the table without waiters/waitresses.

my family blesses our food at every meal & then we take out our phones & ignore each other.
when we are out we don't usually take out our phones until after we order because I'm old & like to torture my kids & wife while I can get them in the same place, hahahaha
it's funny because it's not a hard & fast rule, just something we do :-\
I got a buddy that does restaurant stuff that I'm going to ask about this phone / electronic device phenomenon . . .

I completely forgot. I did this last October on a trip to NYC at JFK. But it was done on an ipad.
Edit: I have often pondered knocking over a glass of water, accidentally-on-purpose, when there is a smartphone within its radius, and inwardly chortle at the unfolding meltdown of its owner.

Time to fess up…..
I have an iPhone 6S+ and love it. It is the cause of much phone envy from @Madame Buttonfly. Prior to getting this, my phone was used mainly as a phone and wifi hub. Now I can actually work on the thing and given how much I travel, it has transformed my trips away….
Perfect! … same here - Nokia 6300
