Computer-telephone etiquette for meetings

For those who are constantly in touch, for example, those who earn the web, gets not only advantages in the form of freedom and opportunity to work anywhere. In the rush to be online they have to check all your links regularly, which means that if there is a laptop, the course is free. But sometimes this behavior may violate the generally accepted norms and principles, and today it is because the note was born.

Thus, we consider a variety of situations:

Conferences and other events.
Here, any device that helps to spread information about the event is appropriate. A possible exception may be only a very small events, conferences, where the majority of participants at you with the technique. Here people klatsat keys may look out of place.

Business meetings in the company.
In this case, everything will depend on local traditions and a common information armed participants. Most high-tech companies rather surprising lack of a laptop or a smartphone. In other cases, the laptop is permissible only if it is really necessary at this meeting. But it is worth saying again that bring all your luggage on a small rally is likely not worth it.

Meeting with a client.
At these meetings, your laptop must be closed and the phone is in silent mode. In the end you should listen to the one who pays you money. If you need something to write, take a notebook and pen. The notebook is appropriate only if you need a presentation of something with his participation.

A very important meeting.
Meeting with senior management or other vital meeting should take place without the participation of your electronic friends. Such meetings are too important to spoil them, glancing at a mobile phone screen.

Meeting with colleagues and friends.
It all depends on who you meet. Computer geeks will be surprised if the gadgets at the meeting will not, and those who are not so tied to computers, they can not understand your maneuvers with a screen and keyboard.

This is just the result of reflection, and I, as well as Dawn, I would like to know your personal rules for such cases.
