Would you hand in your phone at the door in exchange for a free bottle of wine? One restaurateur has tried that – and there are now many other gambits that are encouraging us to connect

    I read somewhere that it does. Just by virtue of having a phone visible makes people think about scrolling. Let’s see if I can dig up where I read that…

    Note it’s psychology today, not the research itself. Throwing the link up while I dig further.

      Wow that’s a really cool read. I guess I’ll try to find something else to do with my phone. Maybe hide it under a tissue box or something! Haha

      Edit: we made it a game where we find fun and creative places to hide our phones when having coffee with mates
