We all know the situation. As soon as we are with friends, colleagues, family, and other people, they place their smartphones somewhere in front of them. This gesture already defines their attentiveness to the device they are carrying with them.
If you meet people, it is a valuable tactic to ask them to hide their technological gadgets while interacting with you. This will make those people more open to focusing on the interaction with the person sitting in front of them.
