To Ban or Not to Ban

So this new study came out and it suggest that cell-phones are taking away the experience of meetings and they are a distraction and disruptive interrupting thoughts and converstations while meeting are being attend. I must admit that I do check my phone a couple times during meetings.

This study was conducted by the Harvard Business Review editor Amy Gallo, who recommended a ban on devices, which you can click here...

“In our digital-first culture, we think smartphones are a gift in amplifying the experience beyond the room,” says Wired head of marketing Maya Draisin. “I love when our audiences actively engage with the meeting's content or activations, whether it’s through Twitter, Instagram, or even just taking notes to reflect on later.”

Do you use you phone or check your phone during meetings!! I think they should be banned!
