In a restaurant, at the table next to us, a family of four sits down. The mother immediately pulls out a book, the two boys (ages, I'd guess, 6 and 10) pull out cell phones on which they begin to play video games, the father sits and distractedly watches one of the boys play his game.

The only time this family interacted with each other was when the waiter came to take their orders. As soon as that was done, they all went back to what they were doing. We weren't there long enough to see if they spoke to each other during their meal.
