Smartphones help connect, but they can also easily ruin face-to-face conversations. The act of turning the phone over often leads to “phubbing” (a combination of "phone" and "snubbing"), which makes the other person uncomfortable.
Place your phone face down on a table to protect the screen from accidental spills or impacts. It also saves battery because the screen doesn't stay on constantly when there are new notifications.
More importantly, this habit shows respect for the person you are talking to. Eye contact is easily disrupted when looking at your phone, says Michelle Davis, a clinical psychologist at Headspace. Putting your phone face down is also a way to remind yourself to reduce your dependence on the screen.
This is a simple habit but helps you become a refined person in the eyes of others. Dear readers, please watch more videos : Top 10 'Scary' Technology Devices of the Future.
