I am not alone

I'm looking around the seminar room at the roughly 250 attendees of the Public Cloud Day and I realized I am not alone. I would say that at least half of the attendees have iPhones, which isn't too surprising at a tech conference. What is surprising is that while about half have their laptops out on the tables, about 20% have iPads sitting on the table in front of them. The number of people using pen and paper is a definite minority. It will be interesting to see how this mix will change over the next few years.

One of the presenters, who works for HP, had an iPad that he used to take questions via twitter to his presentation. Yeah, this is definitely a tech conference :-)
