I attended this one day conference today as part of my day job as an enterprise network architect. But couldn't get electracy out of my mind as I consumed the presentations and discussion.

The venue was the Dream Hotel on 16th Street just around the corner from the NYC Google office.

I learned that:
 * American Airlines has replaced their pilots' flight manuals (40 pounds of paper) with tablets (iPads).
 * The Institute of Culinary Education has recently introduced tablets (again iPads) into their classrooms (kitchens), equipping each student with their own tablet to which course material is delivered.
 * People are becoming "multi-screen" (i.e., smartphone, tablet, notebook, PC).
 * Bayada Home Health Care has put tablets (7 inch Samsung Galaxy) in the hands of their healthcare workers with custom keyboard software called Swiftkey that "predicts sentences".
