Nir, first time I’ve heard about this bad habit of using our phones in meetings as digital masturbation. You have a creative imagination! Using a phone while in a meeting or with some one is a sign of disrespect.

When a person’s phone rings during a seminar, the speaker normally has set up a rule. $20 fine if it rings during a presentation. Why not try that at your next meeting?

Yes, I agree we have too many meetings as it is.
