1. Great initiative
Izi ,   Tel Aviv   (11.23.13)
4 people sitting at the same table, everyone with his own smartphone. No talks... And you think they're saving the world? No, just liking stupid pics on facebook. We all should respect what this man is trying to do...
2. Growing up DIS-connected.
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (11.23.13)
Gosh! How did we survive growing up in the 1950's and 60's, sitting at the dinner table with Mom, Dad, brothers, and sisters, friends and cousins, grannie and grandpa, aunts and uncles, TALKING TO EACH OTHER about school, cars, sports, holidays, pets, books, vacations, . . . reality.
3. Three cheers for Mr. Ibrahim!
Rivkah F. ,   Jerusalem   (11.25.13)
Mr. Ibrahim is to be commended for doing this. I have had too many unpleasant dining experiences because of use of mobile phones in restaurants. It is noise pollution and one may sit at a table where on every side there is a competing phone conversation. I wish more would do what Mr. Ibrahim has done. And you do not even have to give such a discount ... it simply should be a matter of good manners and "derech eretz."
