I agree that the personal component to dining out is invaluable. Also, some of my best times have come when I unplug. I think for convenience sake I’m going to have to upgrade to a smartphone this spring, but I’m hoping as long as I’m mindful of my technology use, I can keep a good personal balance. Thanks for the insight

I am most certainly a guest at my favorite restaurants. I probably wouldn’t return to said restaurant if I was handed a tablet in place of a helpful waiter. The best part of this article is in the phrase “Then my battery died”. Ever notice how real life starts when your battery dies? Similar to the memorable times we’ve gone without power ~ hand writing thank yous in front of the fireplace surrounded the glow of candles. Maybe every so often we should have a “My Battery Died” day and see what develops. Then we can update our status (or not) the following day.
