If you were to sit in a class at a neighboring college you would become aware of a very attention-grabbing trend. You may also see it at your job, at board meetings; eating at output. I notice it all the time and really actively contribute.
I'm talking, of course, about the use of PDA's and other personal electronic devices to check things like text messages, emails, and even Facebook.
This has become one of the most recent forms of office protocol faux pas. Workers are now spending less time focused at meetings and more time with their phones and PDAs. It has become so out of hand that some businesses have begun to protest about people using their handsets in the workplace.
As far as university goes, there is not anything more irritating than being in the middle of a test and another person's phone begins ringing. On the other hand, if you're listening to a address and checking your email or distributing texts, I don't see too much immoral with it only if you're not being disturbing to those around you. If you're sitting in meeting and you're in a group that expects you to do work, however, there is a serious issue if you're spending all your time checking your email. This is where it becomes an issue in the workplace.
If you're at a meeting and your team member is at the same meeting, or worse, at a meeting where he or she was supposed to get information for the group, and is continuously checking his or her handset, then what did he or she truly retain from the meeting? It causes a cessation in transmission because they could have missed a extremely important part of that lecture. As well, when people are doing extra than one thing at once, such as attempting to listen to a meeting and reading emails and text messages, then they are less likely to retain the information, or they will retain bits and pieces of it.
A less important issue coming up against those who use their devices during meetings and at additional social functions could be making another person quite mad. If you have an item very important to convey to an additional individual and all he or she expects to do is download emails then you'll probably end up frustrated and angry. At a New York political coup, Tom Golisano said that he got fairly angry when meeting with Democratic majority leader Malcolm Smith, who Golisano often gives large campaign charity to, spent more time on his BlackBerry than to the issues he should have been working on.
There will likely be some workplace rules facing people soon once workplace rules catch up with technology and efficiency will go back to regular.
