Our phones have become a huge part of our lives cause of their function and how handful it is to humans, in today's world we use our smartphones to do almost everything like sending and receiving texts from others surfing the internet to stay informed, taking pictures of amazing moments of our lives, in all smartphones brings the world closer to our doorstep" imagine one morning I open my door and I see the world standing outside hehe!!!" What a wild imagination right?
I happen to know someone who can't leave a day without her phone "That's me right here" and it affects our relationship with others, most times we'd be engaging in a meaningful conversation with others physically but the moment we hold our phones and those notifications starts popping in, those feeds we've missed out on, then we forget about the person sitting next to us for a minute or more and just focus on our phones, so the big question is how would you feel if someone does the same to you? I'm waiting for your response. Phone has become a huge hindrance in maintaining a face-to-face conversation with others.

Majority of people have begun to have dinner with their smartphones rather than their families, they are so concerned about other people's lives online than theirs that they forget about the commitment to their families, so with that being said the use of our smartphones should be banned during family gatherings to avoid distraction because the mere presence of a phone can be a distraction, even when we try hard to pretend that it's not the fact remains that it is.
I can remember growing up when my senior brother bought his very first phone, not like the phone was even very smart compared to today's advancement and new developments in smartphones you'd know what I'm talking about but then he didn't allow us to rest in the house, every time you see him, his always with his phone, most times when his eating he would hold the spoon on one hand and the phone was on the other hand, so there was a day he came to my mum and complained that he was having back pain then my mum looked at him and was like "why won't your back hurt when you are pressing your phone all the time".
Most people are addicted to their mobile phones just like my brother so during these family gatherings the use of phones should be banned, as we all know most of these meetings aren't held regularly so at the time it's held everyone should be aware not to bring out their phones. Everyone should be aware that it is time for family and no form of distraction can be permitted, the major goal of these gatherings is to create a bond among family members and to make the bond stronger, mind you some of these meetings can also be held to resolve conflict in the family and create togetherness.

They say twenty friends don't play together for twenty years, so as siblings, because we grew up together doesn't mean we'd be together at the same place. What is constant in life they say is change, we grew up together does not mean I'd always be the same person as I was when I was younger, a lot had happened in my life that might have affected me in certain ways maybe the way I think or my belief system so this family get together will enable my other siblings to get to know me again, the little changes in my life, so imagine all my siblings are using their smartphones during our family dinner and we aint talking physically how would they get to know me and notice the changes in my life?
This moment is all we have to create that bond among ourselves cause these moments don't happen frequently, so the little time we have is all we've got so the use of phones during family gatherings should be banned then after the whole process is over everyone gets back to their phones.

In my opinion I think phones should be banned when having a nice time with the family, phones has caused more damages in many homes and this really has to stop. Nice write up dear

Family time is always precious, so using your phone is also a sign of disrespect if you ask me.
