You Thought Your Laptop Was Portable

This week i read an article about a roll-up laptop that Orkin Design and Sony are working on.This will change the way we use laptops. It is a roll-up laptop that is a 17-inch display and can be converted into a table PC or a stand up monitor. It also house the charger in the canister. It is defiantly the new generation of laptops.This technology is still in development so it will be a while before you see it stores. This makes wonder what else could this technology be used for. Perhaps a roll-up TV for on the go viewing or for a more ethical use a roll-up first aid station. This could be used in ambulance for quicker treatment. Who know what could happen. This reminds me of the video we watched in class were the girl holds up a sign say that the job she will have in the future doesn't exists today. I don't think this job existed even five years ago. So this is proof that this is true. When this laptop comes out i think there will be someone else working on something more advanced. This will probably keep happening as the years go on. Someone will always be take the next step.I have to ask myself will i be one step behind or two steps ahead.
