Brewster Kahle who's a huge proponent of open source devices is apparently a huge proponent of all things digital.. refrigerators, cars, doorknobs. Pretty out there. Basically the panel was really talking about the increase in digital accessibility as we move from traditional desktop computers to touch sensitive mobile devices.

There was some discussion about Microsoft's multipoint advancements (Minority Report). And the guy who invented Guitar Hero was also there pushing the need for hacking for hacking's sake. Reminded me of the argument of art for art's sake. I've got to wonder sometimes why we're willing to go through so much trouble to replace a simple notebook.
