Strange new world of conferences

Here at Super Nova 2008, there is wireless and there are powerstrips throughout the hall. Almost everyone here is typing on a laptop while the speakers are speaking. For the speakers, it has to be like looking out into a room where 400 people are doing their homework. Odd.

Some random observations:
  • Average age is 40+
  • Many people wearing black
  • Macs seem to outnumber PCs
  • Many attendees are simultaneously surfing their phones (iPhones, Nokia 95s)
