Feed Them Where They Eat

For a long time, Dr. LaVerne Gray Davis wrung her hands about the way that personal technology has infiltrated all aspect of life, changing social dynamics, shortening attention spans, and ruining the art of dinner conversation.

When Davis banned iPads, iPhones, and the like from her family's dinner table, she ended up eating alone. So, instead of going against the tide of technology, she decided to embrace it and look for the positive ways it has changed her life and the lives of everyone around her.

In this collection of short, humorous essays and anecdotes, Davis muses about the places technology has come to occupy in our relationships, our hands, and our hearts.

From ordering takeout for the whole family and texting each other about second helpings, to joining in on her mother's appointment with the oncologist across the country and cheering for the Seahawks in the middle of church, Davis explores the ways that using technology can actually bring us closer to the people and the things we love.
