Craving A Little Human Interaction

At a recent family dinner, I looked around the room at one point and noticed that of the eight people there, five were on their phone either texting, playing Fruit Ninja or on Facebook. A sad, but true reality at most social gatherings I seem to attend nowadays. Have you noticed the same?
Enter a game called "The Phone Stack". The Globe and Mail recently published this article about the game that challenges people to take a break from their phone while out to dinner with friends and put it in a stack, face down on the table. Even as the phones ring and buzz, no one's allowed to touch it. The first person to flip over their phone loses, and has to pay for dinner.
Simple, but brilliant. There's nothing I hate more than people more occupied with what's on their phone than the conversation. So, could you do it? Is that text or email worth the cost of everyone's dinner to you?
What others had to say:
