We can’t remember clearly since when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table.This happens a lot,especially when we eat out.Once a dish comes,instead of lifting our chopsticks,we take out our mobiles and click.Later,we post the photos onto Weibo or Wechat,waiting to be“liked”.Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal,to see whether we get“liked”or not.We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.
Does that sound familiar to you?Do you do that often?If not,how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?
