I remember those days, too.
I was a field volunteer at CMP (Archimedes) this year, but my crew was not selected to work the field on Einstein. While walking toward the stands before the finals, I passed the field volunteer crew that had been selected -- they were getting a briefing from their VC, and one of the items she emphasized was "turn off the Wifi on your phone."

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Reason: Einstein volunteer phones were completely OFF. Thanks for the correction, Jessica.
