Wireless laptop etiquette

Renee Rhoades Midlothian, Va, United States

I've recently taken a new job with a company that is a big user of wireless laptops. All our buildings are hot spots so you can literally go anywhere to work, including meetings. We have the technology but it seems that we haven't gotten to the point of setting boundaries around our 'freedom'. Anyone have any experience, reference materials, or other tools around appropriate etiquette in this sort of environment?

You made a very valid point. What I try to do (and not always with success) is to send ground rules to all meeting participants, which include being on time, no cell phone and no laptops.

Whether attendants decide to follow this rules or not, it is up to them, but it is also important to invite to the meeting ONLY that the people that are strictly necessary.

I have a MS Surface that I use to take hand-written notes. It has quite literally transformed my working life and reduced my paper consumption to (almost) zero.

I never open email or documents unrelated to the meeting. I also consider it very rude when other people do so.
