The laptop of the future?
As we are all currently celebrating the newly announced Chrome OS for the netbook market; I thought it would be fitting to take a sneak peak into the future of netbooks and laptops. After all, if the operating systems are becoming more complex and user friendly, wouldn’t it be fitting to take a gander into what hardware might become?
Technological change has become so fast paced that today’s most powerful computers will be likened to mere handheld calculators in the future. It is said that the technology that sent the first Apollo mission to the moon was hardly as advanced as the circuitry one would find in a modern day Ipod for example.
Nevertheless as my wacky tradition goes; I was browsing through the technology videos on YouTube and came across what seems to be the newest video sensation. This is a demo of the so called “rolltop” which is tagged as the laptop of the future. Why a rolltop rather than laptop? Well watch the video, tell us what you think about it.

Rolltop laptop of the future - throw in a bit of some Chrome OS?

I find myself being the skeptic on whether this is possible or not. I mean…a folding laptop for crying out loud! Anyway it’s an amazing concept and I have to commend whoever had the imaginativeness to come up with this.
But come to think of it, 60 years ago people would have laughed at the concept of having laptops, let alone netbooks or PDA’s and Iphones. Exciting times ahead indeed!
