Dumb things to do with your smart phone?
While reading a white paper on The Rise of Virtual Meetings, I ran across this:
...today people are participating in virtual meetings while sitting at their desk, driving their car or standing in a grocery checkout line.
Really?
According to the 2013 Mobile Consumer Habits survey, more than 55% of the respondents admit to using their smartphone while driving. Are some of them actually on a webinar?
I can't imagine a webinar ever being that important or that irresistible. It's difficult enough to stay interested in a webinar while sitting at my desk.
But using a maps app, I admit, more tempting. But it also requires that you look at the screen while behind the wheel. I never thought about the craziness of that until I considered whether it would be more demanding or less demanding than watching 4" powerpoint slides while driving.
But, the Californians may have a point.
