For presentations, I think this is a very good idea. But it wouldn't work for a BoF or a microconference. I also thought about doing this for a presentations. That is, "Please submit all questions online, and the presenter will answer them". Of course, if you have someone that didn't bring their laptop or phone (there are people that do that too). They should have a way to submit a question as well. Perhaps instead of going in line to a microphone, go in line to a public laptop to type in your question. -- Steve
