This is a good idea but personally i think its more a PR stunt.

Whilst this is a good idea for families and will ensure that parents and children have more time to enjoy each other’s company, I would be very unhappy if I was out with friends and asked to deposit my Blackberry in the care of someone working in the theme park.

I often go to theme parks with friends, and I do have a Blackberry for when I am out of the office as it allows me to keep in touch with my emails. I’m not going to sit and use it all day when I am on a day out, but I would certainly want to check it a couple of times during the day. I don’t see why someone should be made an example of if they are not with any young children.

I think that this is a great move which must be followed in all places where families go together.

Banning a fruit would be a bit crazy, however they should probably ban burgers and encourage healthy eating?!!?!

Hmmm interesting, personally I’d put a ban on the talking on them but receiving messages is better known for being more discreet than a phone call!I recently activated “push” email on my smartphone and I’m told that I’m more relaxed and I don’t spend ages fiddling with my phone whilst we’re out shopping to find nothing there!! Proof – Push email can improve your relationships!That said I do run a business, and am not just answering my email for the sake of it – I do need to know when there’s a problem!
