Laptops Overtake Desktops - Who Cares?
by
Charlie Bess
There have been a couple of stories like this one concerning Laptops overtaking Desktops. That happened inside EDS a long time ago. It does make me wonder about the relationship between the use of intelligent handheld devices and laptops though. I wonder what percentage of emails get read on the handheld device vs. the full function device.
I know my style needs to change. If I can’t get the reader hooked in the first line of text, it probably isn’t going to get read.
I’m sure it is a generational difference as well.
Baby Boomers
- E-mail
- Discussion groups (e.g., Usenet)
Generation X
- Instant messaging
- Web sites
- Cell phones
Generation Y
- Wiki
- Syndication (Blogs, Podcasts)
- Video (e.g. YouTube)
- Social Networking (e.g. Facebook, Second Life)
Next Generation
We're clearly moving beyond laptops.
