Do You Really Need to Do Face-to-Face Meetings?

Three-fourths of the meetings that you're in is people on their computers doing things that are outside of that room Which is very similar to what the students were doing with texting. I remember I had a Supervisor at one point that would very frequently require phones and computers left outside the room when we were going to brainstorm And the only thing that was allowed in the room were whiteboards and whiteboard markers. Do you think this is company culture or the device?
