Undivided Attention

Remember those days when you would call up a friend, meet and chat for hours on end about anything and everything without either one of you touching your mobile devices? I mean, not even remembering you had a phone or be tempted by it. When we really understood and appreciated each other's time and company. Yup, those were the days.

No, really. I had the opportunity to listen to an amazing person tonight at a talk. She was no doubt an engaging speaker and really knew how to capture and keep an audience's attention. Then, she did the unthinkable.

She popped open her ipad mini cover flat on her thighs and started typing. Right there, on one of 3 speaker chairs, on center stage, in front of a crowd.
