Don't make me get my basket out!!!

I'm having a love/hate relationship with all of our technology.  I know it's a great thing.... but it seems to be screwing up social skills and the way family spends time together.  I hate to see people that are together in thier seperate worlds on their phones talking to people that aren't there.  How are they more important then the ones that ARE there.  I would love to have a basket at the front door for cells phones with a sign that says "Drop it here, or go elsewhere"!
