I do not. But after reading this I think I should. One aspect that stood out to me is the ability to listen and absorb what the SME is talking about without the distraction of making sure you write it all down. With the "smartphones" most of us carry (they're really miniature computers), we could take it even further. We can take a video of something happening on the screen or take a quick photo of how a device is wired.
