I think it's something everyone can take to heart. Sitting in meetings but looking intensely at the laptop or phone.. in the long run this just feels like not being present at all, so I do my best to avoid it. Close laptops when in meetings (when you don't need them). The worst I've seen of this was in academia, everyone staring into their laptops so hard it felt like a contest.

As a past top contender, this was due to meetings being far too long and irrelevant so I usually tried to do something more productive. Private sector has its share of bullshit meetings but people are at least a bit more sensitive to the cost.
