The Dutch club that aims to challenge smartphone addiction

Most of us spend way too much time on our phones. In the Netherlands, three young Dutchmen came up with a plan to do something about it. It’s called The Offline Club and guests pay for the privilege of spending an evening without their smartphones. The World’s Europe correspondent Orla Barry reports from Amsterdam.
