Beer Glass to stop drinkers using mobiles

_______________

The Offline Glass developed by a Brazilian advertising agency promises to end the scourge of drinkers eschewing the company of their friends in favour of some quality time with their smartphones.

The ingeniously simple Offline Glass features a large indent in its base which means it will only stand upright when supported by a mobile phone.

Flavius Cinira, one of the owners of the bar, said: "The spirit of Salve Jorge is to bring together friends and everyday warriors, as we used to say, in a happy environment around good food and cold beer."

Wanderley Romano, co-owner, added: "The Offline Glass embodies this exactly. It is an invitation for people to come here, after the daily battle, turn off the online world, chat with friends and live in the reality around them, at least for a few hours."

Generally people carry two mobiles these days or a cell and a tab...:) Moreover if someone wants to be online more than being in the company of people around he will find the means. Though sometimes being online comes as a savior...:)

People would still use their mobile phones and keep their glasses at the edge of the table..
