Check that PDA: Do You Have Tech Etiquette?
Today I was reading a bit about tech etiquette over on Alexandra Levit’s Water Cooler Wisdom. One thing that drives me nuts is the inopportune times folks pull out a blackberry, palm, iphone or whatever other productivity device of the day happens to be.
A good nugget of wisdom is this:
“Think of your PDA as a crossword puzzle. Anywhere it’s acceptable to work on a crossword puzzle, it’s OK to check your PDA.”
Will Schwalbe, author of Send: Why People Email So Badly and How to Do It Better
Do you have a good story about a PDA getting pulled out? There have to be some great ones out there. Do share!
Also, with Thanksgiving on the horizon, is it ok to check your PDA at Thanksgiving dinner? Or during the Lion’s game? Or during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade?

Pretty much those people you are referring to, are major tools. One reason why I don’t have an iPhone/Blackberry…I do NOT want to be that tool playing on his PDA. No one likes THAT guy…
