In Sardinia, restaurants have banned families from using phones at the table": Italians will now enjoy the moment instead of sitting on their phones in establishments. "In Sardinia, 15 restaurants have joined an experiment in which families will be prohibited from using smartphones at the table. The initiative of the ombudsman for children on Bai Anna Kao is aimed at combating the excessive use of gadgets by children and developing face-to-face communication. The month-long trial begins next week. Before eating, visitors will be asked to put down their phones, and in return will receive special kits with games and drawings that will help parents and children communicate. The set will also include recommendations on the risks of excessive use of gadgets and tips for monitoring social networks at home. The organizers hope that the initiative will help bring back live conversations at the family table, which are increasingly giving way to quiet viewing of screens."
