Know who's not cool with you poking at your phone
at the dinner table? Your friend who's scowling
while you Instagram your food, your mom/dad/
significant other shouting at you to put your phone
away... and Pope Francis. Maybe it's because the
current head of the Catholic Church is tech-friendly
-- he even has a Twitter account -- that he knows
how addictive gadgets can be. "A family that almost
never eats together, or that never speaks at the
table but looks at the television or the smartphone,
is hardly a family," he said during a sermon at St.
Peter's Square, according to the Catholic News
Agency. "When children at the table are attached to
the computer or the phone and don't listen to each
other, this is not a family, this is a pensioner." So,
there: if you're the kind of person who hates
Facebooking-while-eating, you've found a powerful
new ally.
