IMO, all of this applies to meetings at work as well, which are, after all, conversations. It's hard enough for people to listen to each other when they're actually listening. Throw in a laptop, a phone, and the mistaken belief that a person can 'multi-task' without a quality hit, and its a disaster straight out of the gate. I'm curious: Does anyone have rules at work around no laptops / phones at meetings?
