Thanks for the sharing this article. I wrote about this also on my blog. I think this is an increasing and important problem / trend. Especially in the classroom and at meetings and conferences.

we banned bberry’s and cells in meetings last year and it has made a world of difference. like many places i image, we have machine wired to a monitor in every room when the Internet needs accessing…but only accessing for the group or for the meeting…no personal crap.

it really is amazing what you can get done…and sometimes makes me wonder if i’d get more done in my personal life if i toss the gadgets aside.

Screw that. I need my lappy, by God. Texting I can imagine, but being able to get links and take notes is pretty key in the meetings I attend.

Good idea.

It amazes me how many people fiddle with blackberry in business meetings, drives me crazy.

Next time it happens, I’m busting out my DS and cracking on with a couple of Advance Wars Days of Ruin campaigns which are vexing me.
