The Smartphone at Dinner: The Sanctity of Meal Times and Why the Camera Shouldn’t Eat First – with Paul Greenberg, chair: Simone Cinotto
We spend four hours a day, every day on our smartphones. Over a decade that adds up to an entire waking year.
In this talk, New York Times bestselling author Paul Greenberg will present findings from his book Goodbye Phone, Hello World and make the argument that the smartphone’s interruption of our real-life pleasures is a form of digital imperialism we must resist: especially at table.

A regular contributor to The New York Times, he currently teaches in New York University’s Animal Studies program and resides at Ground Zero in Manhattan where he produces the only wine grown south of 14th Street.
