www.rantlifestyle.com: Everyone has a friend who works in a creative field: web designers, artists, writers, musicians, photographers, and any other number of careers.

Company pushes button on radical idea: Cell-free concerts
TribLIVE: Sheena Ekas loves going to concerts, but she has started to find the other fans in attendance irritating.
It seems like lately every time the Saxonburg resident goes to a show, everyone around her spends more time on their phones than watching the performance.

Returning students have confided to me that work in the shop is “not as much fun anymore” and, reluctantly, I have to agree. We feel less like a team. There’s more stress, less camaraderie, and less vitality.
I blame the students. But I’m convinced it’s not their fault.
