            In the article “Photos Of Your Food? Check In on Foursquare? Not at This Restaurant” written by Sophie Brown she writes about a restaurant owner who is discounting meals at fifty percent to people who turn off their phones while dining at his restaurant.  Jawdat Ibrahim the restaurant owner got tired of seeing people “glued” to their screens instead of eating their food.  He believes that this idea will pay off in the long run.

            This is something that I see a lot at restaurants when I am out and about.  But I must admit that even I am guilty of this. It is even worse when I notice that I am doing that then put my phone down and the people that I am with still continue to be glued to their phones instead of engaging in a conversation. If a restaurant around me did the same kind of deal I would definitely shut my phone off to eat.  Fifty percent off who wouldn’t do that??

            All you can really ask is why she would try to jump from the stadium.  Well why would you try to jump period.  Bravo to the guy who tried to save her though.
