I didn't take my laptop with me to this year's SXSW interactive (http://2007.sxsw.com/interactive/) http://2007.sxsw.com/interactive/) and I think it greatly enhanced my experience. Ironically, I think that tech conferences such as this would actually be enhanced--for (almost) everybody--if computers were generally prohibited at computer event venues. (Flame me not.) :) If nothing else, it would increase f2f interaction..would it not?? (Wouldn't this be a rather stunning exercise/experiment...if only for a day or 2 at a major conference?!)
