Unfortunately, standard "guidance" may be difficult. What is appropriate
often depends on the setting. It is accepted in some group settings that
gazing into LCD screens is appropriate, because it is an informal meeting
and everyone is doing it, often to get information for the meeting itself.
However, in other settings, the same behavior could really irritate those
around us. A lot of this can be solved if the meeting organizer or host sets
the rules and agendas. In many cases, if individuals know they can "check
in" electronically later, the pressure to be continually mentally online
subsides. Imagine the advantage of being able to tell your boss that you
were forced into being out of touch for a few minutes!

Maybe someone can invent an "LCD Jammer" that obliterates what is being
displayed on any LCD screen within 50 yards of the machine. At the beginning
of the meeting the host could simply turn it on and watch half of the
audience go bonkers and race for the exits!

Again, work is one thing. Facebook and nonstop texting is another!
