  1. Your notes are well-organized and they pack a lot of information into a few words. Sometimes too few; can you help your readers understand the "Important Ideas" by explaining a little more?

  2. I think the most important idea from the conference was that whether the older generation is accepting of it or not, technology is becoming a way of life. It is something that should be embraced because it will only help us in the pursuit of new knowledge. Just like the book titled "Program or be Programed", this new wave of technology is inevitable so we might as well ride this wave.
