Shimon Peres presents to Le Web 3

He has just left the building and the next panel has just started.  I don't know if people are thinking about what is being said now or what has just been said.

When I arrived this morning you could tell something was going on as the number of police outside was huge and getting more as you got closer to the conference hall.

Apparently Loic asked or people to close their laptops during the talk but didn't see many people who did.

Mr Peres said some interesting things and came over as though he had thought about how the internet was changing the world.  He talked for approximately 45 mins and then spent a further 15 answering questions. 

Some things he said were
"The stone age is over, not because there is no more stones, but no more age. Finished. You people of the internet are trying to give birth to this new age. You are the midwife."
"Why should we waste our intellectual energy remembering things? Google can do it for us."
There is a good write up on One Man and his Blog
