Here is the simplest of simple rules with regards to using the Internet on your little 2 x 3 device there

If you’re around any other human beings , especially your own family or children , you should not have your phone out at all

I’m talking about other human beings that you’re interacting with

In a restaurant you should never ever have your phone out. Period

If you’re out of doors , you should not be looking at your phone at all

Try to think of your phone this way - it is a telephone ! it is designed for you to be able to talk to other human beings

I get what you’re saying and agree on all point...but to think it’s just a telephone is deceiving ourselves. It is a very powerful (in some not so good ways, too) communications device. As a matter of fact, most people use these devices to communicate WITHOUT talking...just send a text, instant message, tweet, etc. Now, that being said...just like any other tool or device, there is a proper time and place for the use and that is dictated by the family (if not adult age) and societal norms and mores...and unfortunately, those norms and mores are changing...

But the only human beings I want to talk to are the ones on FR!
