The humble laptop
I am writing this post on a white MacBook, sitting at the table with my son who is having his breakfast.
Nothing out of the ordinary in that really. But then I got to thinking.
How amazing is the computer and, even more so, the laptop?
It takes multitasking to a whole new level.
Sitting in front of this white slab with a keyboard and screen I am writing.
In a few minutes I will publish this writing and anyone in the world will be able to read it.
They'll also be able to comment on it and, should they choose, engage in conversation with me about it.
Whilst writing I am listening to Sufjan Stevens, but not on a CD player. In fact I don't own any of his CDs.
From my kitchen in Melbourne I caught up on the morning news from newspapers in New York, London and Sydney.
I read that Sufjan Stevens is performing at the Sydney Festival in January, so I wrote a Sticky Note on my desktop to remind me to buy tickets.
I will use my MacBook to buy those tickets and also book flights and a hotel.
If I wanted to know about any of the things I have just written about I have access to more information than all the libraries in the world combined.
I can watch TV and movies and listen to radio on my computer while I work. Not to mention staying in touch with all of my friends and family.
The longer I thought about the possibilities brought about by the computer and the internet the more in awe of it I became.
And yet, when I spoke to 10 year old Max about all the things the computer lets me do, he said, "Yeah...Hmm. Sure Dad."
Forget digital natives.
He's from a generation who take computers for granted.
Who knows what his kids will be like.

i was thinking about this same thing today stan! we publish stuff, but have a personal 'line in the sand' about what's appropriate to publish and/or to 'say' to someone online, but that's based on behaviour and decorum learned offline. what will we be teaching our kids' generation about what's 'acceptable' behaviour - don't talk behind someone's back, don't upload pictures of your mum without asking and always use emoticons when being sarcastic, becuase sarcasm doesn't translate very well in writing? hmmm
And you didn't even consider that your humble laptop -- if it has a webcam -- is now also a television studio capable of streaming live content to anyone, anywhere via sites like ustream.com and blogtv.com. Combine that same laptop with a camcorder tied by firewire and a wireless digital cell card from a cellphone company and now you're a one man news reporter capable of insertion into any situation anywhere. Democratizing technology to say the least!

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.opuskali.ru]Viagra Super Active[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
