Answer the question — Are you distracted by your phone?

— Are phones getting in the way of having real face-to-face conversations? Do you find yourself — or others — reading texts or Googling instead of really paying attention?

— Do you ever get annoyed by others when they’re not fully paying attention to you because they’re looking at their phone?

— Does the way you, your friends and your family use phones in social settings hurt the conversation? Do you find yourself investing less into a conversation, or keeping the conversation light when a phone is out?

— Do you ever make a choice not to carry your phone all the time? Do you keep it away from the dinner table or certain social events? Do you ever turn it off so you can think and be with your own thoughts? Does your family have any rules about using phones?

-What about school? Do you find that your cell phone hurts your education or helps it? Explain.
