I Want A Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer

So, for next week’s seminar I’m reading Insanely Great by Steven Levy. It’s subtitle is The Life and Times of Macintosh, the Computer that changed Everything.

You know what? I’m sick of computers.

Seriously. I mean, jesus monkey christ, are we in the 21st century now or what? Technology has given us ubiquitous and powerful computing, why in the hell do we still have “Computers”?

Take the Palm, for example. Now that isn’t a computer. It’s a Personal Digital Assistant, or PDA. I love my palm. A lot. Why isn’t THAT the standard for technology assistants? No boot time, no crappy interface, just quick, easy to use common sense technology that actually improves your life.

What I would love to see is an all in one type computer, the size of a laptop’s screen that had no boot time, and did everything a desktop or laptop could do, but using a touch screen interface. This thing would have to be thin, about the thickness of a closed notebook (paper notebook). A stylus would be more than sufficient for inputing stuff. Basically, a digital Tablet. Why don’t we have that yet?

Had a good day. Been reading for hours. Tired now.
