Steven Johnson reports on the 'dangers' implicit in participating in a round table on Social Software, to a bunch of people with wifi-ed up Powerbooks chatting on a screen behind the speakers.
"At the end, when Clay asked us to close our laptops, and reflect on the day a bit, the space was quickly reverberating with group laughs -- to use one of Clay's great phrases, it totally transformed the social weather. There was something refreshing in that change, even if I missed the multitasking."
Apparently, there'll soon be more notes on what Johnson, Shirky et al were talking about.
