Dan, I think one additional idea to solve these problems was our idea of
the environment. This would mean - we can concentrate on the ongoing on the
stage on one hand but use some material like blown up screens of webpages
or just maps with blinking lights on it to show the audience where else the
action is going on.
We do not want the internet to vanish behind the action we want to show it!
