Been a while since blogging and it is not because I have nothing to say. Actually I have a few things that I want to write about, but for various reasons can not. But having a conversation with @richiesroom did give me a moment to think...
Part of what I can't talk about yet involves me getting a tablet. I want one because I will need to get emails quickly on the road since I will be working from a car. I will also need to do some work online, but don't really need anything powerful for that. And want is the key word here. I reality I guess I don't NEED a tablet, but it would be useful :)
The question that always come to the front of my mind when thinking about this is why we do have so many devices? I have always tried to live with as few devices as possible. That's why I've had a smart phone years before Apple made them cool with the iPhone. I don't understand the need to have a phone, an MP3 player, an e-reader, an digital camera. Why can't we have one device to do everything? My life is organised in my phone. I read my books on my phone. I listen to music on my phone. I check the weather on my phone. I even make phone calls on my phone. But I don't do emails on my phone and I don't surf the web on my phone.
And this is where the tablet comes in. It 's big enough to make it useful for reading emails and surfing the web. It's small enough to use in the car and fast enough to be instant on. The only problem I foresee is it becoming my tool of choice.
My phone runs the risk of becoming only a phone.
