Poll: Should you put your phone away while in company?

Most of us are guilty of browsing on our phones in company – should we cut it out?

CAFÉS IN THE US have started deliberately turning off their WiFi so that people are forced to actually talk to each other.

We want to know what you think: Should you put away your phone while in company?


Poll Results:
