Today’s post is more of a question than a comment. How do you use technology in meetings? More specifically, how do you use personal devices (Blackberries, I-Phones, laptop computers, etc.) in meetings? My students tell me they are “taking notes” as they use their laptops to check email and facebook. A colleague of mine at another university has conducted research and found that people in businesses are similar. So how do you use personal technology? Obviously, having a link to the Internet can be a powerful source of information during a meeting. It can also be a distraction if it keeps you from being mentally present. How do you (or others in your organization) use technology?
