On the other hand: If we simply closed our laptops for the duration of 
the plenary and LISTENED to the speakers, perhaps even taking notes on
paper (I know, a radical idea), would this really be such a terrible
thing?

I've attended meetings where we had a "closed laptop" policy during 
presentations, I can tell you that everyone agreed it worked much
better than the typical
"I'll-ingnore-this-boring-speaker-and-order-some-stuff-online-instead"
model.
