My wife and a couple of my kids actually compete to see who uses the least data.

Both daughters read books incessantly. Both work in the literature realm. One has 275 books on her Christmas gift list. She might get 2-3

I read a story about Hal Linden the other day. He’s the actor who played Barney Miller. He said he was at the dinner table the other day and texted his granddaughter. The text said “that old man you’re sitting next to is your grandfather. You should talk to him.”

Side note. Barney Miller has always been a favorite show of mine. Hal Linden and his family were at the table next to mine at a restaurant in NYC once. I wanted to thank him for making me laugh so much but chose instead to give him privacy.

Ha, good for him.
I went out of state to visit some good friends, a family of 4. We were sitting at dinner out and I was mindful of not using my phone at the table, but one by one they all got on their phones so I just gave up - we ended up looking like some of the pics on this thread despite the fact that we hadn’t seen each other face to face in over a year.
