How many times have you annoyed when your dinner companions not separated from their smartphones? Now, IKEA Taiwan has come up with a solution spending meals together without the distraction of a cell phone. The ‘Phone-less Table’ features a hot plate that will only turn on when there are enough phones under it. The hot plate holds a pot that won’t properly heat up and cook the contents within (vegetables, soups, meats) with just one phone, so more will be needed.
Smartphone-Powered Hot Plates
The idea is everyone around the table will place their mobile devices in the designated area so they can enjoy their meal – and each other’s company – tech free.
