Put down your gadget!

I am hearing from spouses and children alike that their male family leaders are spending too much time on their gadgets and not enough time in family connection. To be fair, I'm sure there are women who are similarly addicted, but I hope you will give some serious thought to putting down the gadget and connecting with the people around you.

I have been in a room of five people where EVERYONE was using their gadgets and no one was talking.

In an ideal world, my rule would be "No gadgets when people are in the room."
