I can't speak for others, obviously, but I for one expect it. For better or
worse, this is how people sit through presentations these days. The trick is
to adapt to it as a presenter. I try to include lots of little unexpected
surprise moments, so that the people who aren't paying attention feel left
out when everyone laughs at a joke or has an "A-ha" moment and remember to
pay attention.

And besides, live-blogging is really just another form of note-taking. If
someone isn't live-blogging my session, it means I'm saying something
terribly boring.
