When I was a teenager, my parents forbad me to bring my Walkman to family outings, e.g., to the beach, shopping, etc. The reason why they would not allow Walkmans on family outings is that they wanted me to pay attention to what's going on around me and to socialize with my family. They told me that it's rude to listen to my Walkman on family outings. They also told me that if I'm just going to listen to my Walkman, I might as well stay home. I was quite upset about their No-Walkman policy because I felt that there is no sense in a device being portable if I'm not allowed to take it with me.
Do you ban electronic devices, e.g., Walkmans, Gameboys, iPods, cell phones, etc., on family outings?
