Texting Your Order

I'm not a fan of Parade magazine but I do like the insipid questions on page 1. However, I noticed this article on the last page:
http://www.parade.com/news/views/connie ... vr-ez.html

Has anyone noticed this happening or done it themselves? I hate being nagged at in restaurants, but I can't believe we've gotten to the point of both hiding away in a public place and attempting to have as close to zero human contact as possible.
