I was sitting at the back, and I could see lots of people searching about the concept on the web. I found it funny at that time, but also nice that people were trying to enlighten themselves live. It is bad to have a laptop open during a talk, for social reasons, but luckily now we can search under the table during talks with our phones. I do often search during talks. The alternative is to get lost and switch off. Because I want to know about everything, I don't want to switch off and use web search for the rescue. Some times only.
