Computer Etiquette in the Hub

All right. It’s about time I wrote about this. Sitting in front of a computer in the Hub on a laptop isn’t polite. In my opinion, there is a certain social proprietary when it comes to using computers in the Hub. So why do I consider it impolite, and how can we address laptop users […]

Small Group Catastrophe Experience
