Well I'm no luddite.
I'm definitely up to speed
and heavily invested in technology.

But in meetings, whether personal or business,
the screen only comes out if there is something on it
to share with the group.

This texting while supposedly also sharing time face to face
feels akin to whispering secrets with only one in a group.

>From my POV
(at this point) we're discussing courtesy,
manners and mutual respect.

If one has so much important communication to take care of
perhaps one shouldn't arrange a face to face meeting
until these other important matters are taken care of.

Feeling curmudgeonly 
after a week of out-of-town "family" visiting
and too many displaying this behavior.
