Bring Back the 90s| Effective Communication Skills

Remember in the early 90's when you went out for dinner with your family and you actually talked? It seems like every time I go out I notice a family, a couple, a group of friends disengaged, zoned into their phones. Modern day technology has allowed for accessibility but it has also made it more difficult for people to learn effective communication skills.

As a child, if you needed to be occupied your parents played with you, or gave you a coloring book, or small figurines. Nowadays, children are given an ipad to silence them and eliminate creativity.

I saw this picture of this sign and absolutely love it! I challenge you to have a meal with your loved ones without your phone. Don't even reference it or peek at it. How would your experience be different?
