10.The‘Phone  Stack(堆)'Game
Whenever Michael Carl,the fashion market director at Vanity Fair,goes out to dinner with friends,he plays something,called the"phone stack"game:Everyone places their phones in the middle of the table; whoever looks at their device before the check arrives picks up the bill.As smartphones continue to burrow(鉆入) their way into our lives,and wearable devices like Google Glass threaten to eat into our person space even further,overburdened users are carving out their own device-free zones with special tricks and life hacks.
"Disconnecting is a luxury that we all need,"Lesley M.M.Blume,a New York writer keeps her phone away from the dinner table at home."The expectation that we must always be available to employers,colleague,family:It creates a real obstacle in trying to set aside private time.But that private time is more important than ever."Much of the digital detoxing (戒毒)is centered on the home,where urgent e-mails from co-workers,texts from friends,Instagram photos from acquaintances and updates on Facebook get together to disturb domestic quietness.
A popular method is to appoint a kind of cellphone lockbox,like the milk tin that Brandon Holley,the former editor of lucky magazine,uses."If my phones is buzzing or lighting up,it's still a distraction,so it goes in the box.",said Ms.Holley,who lives in a row house in Red Hook,Brooklyn,with her son,Smith,and husband,John."It's not something I want my kid to see."Sleep is a big factor,which is why some people draw the cellphone-free line at the bedroom."I don't want to sleep next to something that is a charged ball of information with photos an e-mails,"said Peter Som,the fashion designer,who keeps his phone plugged in the living room overnight.""It definitely is a head clearer and describes daytime and sleep time clearly."
Households with young children are especially mindful about being overconnected,with parents sensitive to how children may imitate bad habits.But it's not just inside the home where users are separating themselves from the habit.Cellphone overusers are making efforts to disconnect in social settings,whether at the request of the host or in the form of friendly competition.The phone-stack game is a lighthearted way for friends to police against rude behavior when eating out.The game gained popularity after Brian Perez,a dancer in Los Angeles,posted the idea online.
