When did being together stop meaning being with each other?

at least until the parents take the device away, at which point hell breaks loose.

I remember writing here about this scene:

Officially Smartphoneless

@kirkmahoneyphd I recently witnessed something even more concerning at a restaurant. A couple sitting with a child, approx 4-5 years of age, at the table next to ours. Everyone was eating. However, the child, while eating their soup, was staring at an oversized smartphone screen (Probably a Samsung Note+), which was propped up against the table centerpiece. It was really an eyebrow-raising sight. The parents in that situation REALLY missed the opportunity there.
