It depends. I spend so much time with my beat friend that we don’t always have things to talk about. Sometimes we get coffee and just sit around and read or look at shit on our phones.
Tbh I wouldn’t mind my kids looking at their phones… what does it matter if the games they play are analog or digital? I’m talking about the sitting in the restaurant kind of situation, where kids usually draw, read or do other stuff to entertain themselves.
I have autism and probably ADHD, eating without something else to stimulate me is absolute misery and if you tell me to put away my phone i’m going to start avoiding eating with you.
Honestly if you’re going out to eat with someone the phones should stay in pockets or bags
If you’re making the effort to go out you should be there not on your phones

It’s not a matter of analog or digital games but a matter of going out to eat with people you care about and sharing that time with them

The something else is… The person you’re eating with?
I take observing the ambient isn’t enough stimulation in that case?
