Yeah...something called societal norms.

Norms change. I am an early 20's guy, so naturally I have my phone on me all the time. If I'm out with friends it is
normal to see all of our phones sitting on the table. Depending on who I'm with I'll answer most texts opr calls if I deem them to be important.
If I'm out with people who are my superiors (bosses, parents, etc..) then I generally keep my phone away but on vibrate. If I get a text Ill look at it when I have the chance. If its a phone call I'll see who's calling and if I have to take it I'll politely excuse myself. Although with the industry I'm in and my Dad, people from the older generation are generally worse for being rude with their phones (in my experience). It is impossible to talk with my dad if his phone is on him.
When you can be accessed anywhere via phone, text, email, whatever, this is the nature of our world now. Some people are just going to have to start sucking it up.
