Its a prank or a method of giving your neck a break and allowing large groups of young people sitting at tables to :eek: talk to each other? :D

Just kidding or perhaps not

You are not far from the truth. I was talking to a teacher who took a group of kids out bush on a camping trip, there was silence in the packed bus until they got out of mobile range when finally the kids started talking to each other. The kids did not realize their phones were munching batteries as they where searching for a signal so when they arrived the phones were all dead. Sadly where they were staying there was one power board one of the kids found and there was mobile signal, the teacher showed me a pic on his phone with a rats nest of phone chargers plugged into the power board as the kids tried to get their lives back.
It would have been a better trip if the teachers had found a place to go with no signal, maybe the kids could have learnt something..

Every trip to the jungle the first milestone I look forward to is when cell signal is lost.

Oh and just the other night I was amused to see a group of three senior citizens sitting at a table in a restaurant - all gazing deeply into their smartphones. Other tables with middle aged parents and kids likewise.

It's not just the kids ...

We ban phones and devices on our camping trips. Bring it and you may get sent home - at the parents' cost. The camp form includes a section where the parents agree to this, so no arguments possible.

Nope, the Old Flatulences have learned a sure-fire method of communicating with their grandkids ...;)

We're the same. First night at camp last year, kids quietly sitting around the camp fire, and a cricket starts up. All the kids looked around, and one of them said "Someone's phone is ringing!".
