It won't be that much father in the future that there are as many people walking around with laptops as there are that currently have cell phones
. It does make sense that more people will start using them more and more. They are getting less expensive as time goes on and they are incredibly handy. People of all ages can use them for many different things to make life simpler.
Some of the smaller laptops are perfect for carrying around. Blackberries and PDA's are somewhat too small with their time screens. They make it hard to actually get online and look around because of the tiny screen. But net books, small laptops, and IPads all have a big enough screen that you can easily see what you need to without any trouble. You just need to have wireless internet to be able to surf the net on most of these.
You can perform a ton of tasks on these kinds of devices. You can use movies on trips to keep children occupied, for example. If you use them with GPS, you can find where you are going also. You can tell the person in the passenger seat to check out where you are going and how to get there.
You can also check where to go for shopping or dining in the area you are in. Surfing the internet is a great way to help you along your vacation or trip. If you want to explore some, you can simply look them up and find great places to go. Historical places or quaint shops not far from your traveling route would prove fun and exciting.
These kinds of notebooks can also be used for things other than traveling. School-age children could use them in educational facilities so they can study and learn. Of course, they would not be able to claim their work got carried away by the wind for the simple reason it was supposed to be turned in via email. Additionally, they wouldn't have to carry tons of books around, or even the laptop itself, if there was one at school as well as one at home
