I highly enjoy General Conference, but even though I pay attention and take occasional notes, I have trouble recalling specifics from the various talks. I can speak generally about what was said, but I think the hard part is that there are so many amazing talks one right after another that I don't have time to digest the messages and ponder how I will implement the teachings into my life. This is why I am thankful that the church publishes the talks, so that I can review them and study each one in depth. However, reviewing the notes I took during the broadcast and comparing them to the printed talks is always interesting because sometimes the things I have written down have nothing to do with what the person was talking about. The discrepancies let me know that I wasn't just writing down the exact words of the speaker, but writing the thoughts and impressions the Spirit brings to my mind. During the Sunday morning session, I had a random thought and just daydreamed about it for a bit subconsciously while watching the speaker, and the thought was a really good one that helped me out a bit, but when I snapped out of it, I had pretty much missed the whole talk. I think doing this is ok because the Spirit is the one that is supposed to teach us and bring the message to our heart and mind.
