The Valley Breeze
3/6/2018
So, do you wonder, in this era of people becoming more and more disconnected from each other as they stare at and interact with their beloved phones, is it time yet to push back? As people spend less and less time looking at the face of another person and having a conversation, have we had enough of our addiction?...
The Rhode Island Foundation thinks it might be, and so is putting a bit of money, and much of its energy and credibility, behind “20 neighborly get-togethers” around the state, chats where we all can get to enjoy a free family-style meal, then put down our smartphones and speak to one another – fact to face – in a round table discussion. They’re calling it “TogetherRI.”
What will be the topics?
“We don’t know what we will learn,” says Foundation President and CEO Neil D. Steinberg , in a recent visit with me. “We don’t know what will come out of it.”
