Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Avoid multitasking while using IM or other tools. You might think you're saving time by doing a dozen things at once, but you're probably making the other person wait while you bounce back and forth between IM and your other tasks.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) From doing simple web searches to dictating entire memos, these systems may be convenient for users, but they can create distractions and annoyances for other people. As with other public behaviors, think about the effect you have on others before using these technologies. Note that expectations and policies regarding mobile device use vary widely from company to company.
