Part 2 - How Origami could change our lives

Continued....more ways Origami could change our lives.

3. Ergonomics. Laptops are not in the least ergonomic. You put them on a table, which is always too high or too low to type without hurting your wrists. The screen is never close enough to you, and especially on the plane you have to do some acrobatics to even use the dumb thing. Origami will be a big enough screen to do much of what you do now, except with a much more ergonomic friendly form factor. I love the Samsung which includes the prop stand. This will tremendously improve mobile computing.

4. I can imagine only one place where you can't take Origami, which is a real bummer for me, because like many people, I do my best thinking in there, the shower. Other than that, you can take it anywhere. I wonder how Microsoft and partners will handle the elements, as people will have these devices out with them everywhere. Will we have waterproof Origami? Will we have rugged torture-proof ones for that dangerous African safari you've always wanted to take? Who knows, right now, everything is just starting. Give it a year, and we'll see what happens.
