I am in the habit of asking people to put their phone away when we are having a conversation if they pull it out. Doesn't always work, but I ask.
Sometimes the phone is part of the conversation like when you want to come to agreement on a salient fact that you can check quickly, then put the phone down, and continue.
I see many couples in restaurants, each on their phone, ignoring the other and I wonder why they bothered to go out together to eat.
