NO, it's not ok to inconvenience others through inappropriate use of connectivity tools and technology in restaurants, concerts, movie theatres. NO, it's not ok to check your email on your blackberry while you are in another meeting, having lunch with someone, at dinner with the family or while watching your kids at a sports practice. Stop. Breathe. Listen. Take It All In, And Slow Down. Believe me, I am no saint here either. But I'm Aware Of The "Issue" And I Am Trying...Every Day.
