Opposite to where they sit are their two sons: 15-year-old Jason and 12-year-old Jack, absorbed in playing chess. What's the scenario here? The family calls it their "offline day". From Friday night through Sunday evening, there are no video games, no computers, and no cell phones.2 In our "always on" lives, such a scenario of family convention seems gone. Are we too immersed in the brilliance of the digital world? Perhaps. We cannot seem to resist the lure of our cell phones, even when we are in the company of others. Apparently, we have sacrificed conversation for connection.3. What does the author think of the idea that our little "sips" of online connection will substitute for real conversation?
