BEFORE WE GET STARTED: • Please feel free to have your digital devices in
your hands at all times. The research suggests most of you are using them for good reasons when you are using them.
• Please feel free to live tweet or take pictures of anything you see or hear.
• When I ask you what something means, please feel free to google it for an answer. Please don’t leave me hanging. Long silences are boring for us all.
