> it's also lower quality attention, I figure. I'm not sure you can make that a blanket statement. It's entirely possible to multi-task with a phone in your ear, especially with headphones, and it's also possible to focus completely on a series of text messages. You might be able to say that videoconferencing is necessarily higher-quality attention, but I wouldn't put chicanery past some organizations.
