Oh, well- if so it will be easier than ever to "carry" it almost
everywhere.

How soon will they perfect GPS specifically to help me find my way to
the john in the middle of the night? :-)

Maybe one can program in all the donut shops and other "hazards" on
this thing. A few years from now, we will only shut off our ipods long
enought to talk on our cell phones and we'll all be staring at a screen
to help us navigate around the block when the dog needs to take a pee.

Remember a few years back when we all thought GPS was so miraculous?
When you would ask somebody about their boat, the first (often excited)
portion of the answer was, typically, "It's got GPS!!" Things change.


Amazing.

You have to wonder where we will be with these electronic devices in
another 1,5 or 10 years.


One of the reason for the oil and energy shortages. The average home uses
4x the power of 20 years ago. Those nice Plasma TV's on their own consume
4x the energy of a CRT TV.
