Авторы NYT предсказывают:
But the real future of the laptop computer will remain in the specialized niche markets. Because no matter how inexpensive the machines become, and no matter how sophisticated their software, I still can't imagine the average user taking one along when going fishing.
Этот же человек делал и другие предсказания:
Windows were a great idea until you compared them with the old-fashioned, uncomputerized desk, at which point it became obvious that they were simply too complicated to be dealt with efficiently. They made life more difficult, not easier, and they will continue to do so until a video display the size of a desktop can make visible a number of complete documents, each in its own window. That is something unlikely to occur, if for no other reason than cost, for at least a decade.
Заметим, что desktop тут имеется в виду - настоящий стол, деревянный. По крайней мере в этом он оказался прав - экранов размером со стол и сейчас немного. В остальном же - увы.
