The only place you should put away your phone is somewhere that requires listening to a speaker (like church, or movie theater).

As people have mentioned previously, a mobile phone is considered an important device when receiving emergency contact.

Restaurants create an atmosphere, and low IQ inconsiderate animals using speakerphones to listen to crap is not that atmosphere. I don’t want to hear you scroll through facebook or babbling with your bestie.

Use an earpiece or get out.

Putting a phone away and refraining from playing games or constantly texting is not anywhere the same as turning them off. I long for the old days when there were no cell phones. Nobody lives in the present place anymore.
