Origami is obviously a big deal if Intel and Microsoft are putting a lot of money, talent, and time into it. I remember seeing Bill Gates talk about these devices years ago in a video about cutting edge technologies, and wondered what happened to them back then. Since by most estimations (at least in my professional opinion) they will be here to stay, I have been pondering the ways that Origami devices may make my life easier. Consider the following:

1. Every morning I boot up my laptop to check email, get the latest  news, pay a few bills, and do computer maintenance all before I go to work. I guess you could say I am a real go-getter. Origami will allow me to do all the same tasks faster. How? I can take Origami all over the house and set it down when I am making breakfast, or making coffee, or grooming, and getting ready for my day. Origami makes computing more accessible, kinda like the remote control. Origami is bigger, so it won't get lost in the crease of the couch though. Is that a bad thing?

2. Usually I pack up my laptop, big boat that it is (totally my fault, but I wanted a desktop replacement) and cart it off to work. While I realize my hypothetical Origami device (that I obviously don't have yet) won't exactly be a desktop replacement, it will be close enough for me. I can prop it up on my desk, and attach my own keyboard and mouse (or bluetooth it) and I am good to go. Origami will make me the Ultra Mobile IT manager, meaning I can take it anywhere with me on the job, to troubleshoot a PC, reboot access points, and much much more.
