Laptops Are Great, But Not During a Lecture or a Meeting

I hate the term "meeting" as that's merely a super-class of event. Technically a lecture is a meeting, a movie screening is a meeting, a concert is a meeting.

I find things are more productive when there's an actual expectation about what people do when gathered.

    * brainstorming
    * problem identification (a type of brain storming)
    * solution identification (a type of brain storming)
    * Question and Answer* (I tend to not find these very productive)
    * Presentation (possibly of answers to submitted questions)

Your point needs to be applied to your first option. Brainstorming is a method, meetings should not be defined by their method but by their goal (and preferably with a known method to reach that goal).
