A new study in Britain has found that nearly half of the people tend to check their Facebook or Twitter accounts and chat with their friends even when eating with their partner.

The poll also found a third admitting being so addicted to Twitter that they will even check the site throughout the evening. The most popular digital activities include posting pictures, updating a status, and "checking in" to allow pals to see where they were dining.
Amazingly, 20 percent of Britons say they would even use social networking sites during a first date.
The survey conducted for Currys and PC World also found women more likely than men to use social networks during meals. But they also became more frustrated if their partner ignored them to use Facebook or Twitter.
Sixty-five percent said they found it a turn-off if their partner could not put down their phone or tablet computer. But just a third of men said it would annoy them.
