yeah I know you did not ask!
There is a group of people partaking or getting ready to partake of a meal. The all too common site today is one or more persons at that table deeply involved with their cell phones. They are essentially ignoring the other souls at the table. I wondered what would happen if I brought a book to that table and begin reading. Undoubtedly I would be considered rude. However, in my mind, I do not see a whole lot of difference.
