 The future of `computing` or rather, web access? - Vicar of Bray
I`m curious as to how you think it`s going to roll out over - say, the next 5yrs.

There`s the old desk-top that my wife still sits at and uses, but i `evolved` to a Laptop and then, a year later, went over to a Eee Pc last year for a trip out east. By the time I got back the small screen seemed normal and it`s now my regular internet device.

However, bought a phone, started using that and it`s less of an adjustment curve than going from the laptop to the 7" Eee Pc. Going out East again, with just the phone and by the time I get back....

What`s next though as I`m always a year or two behind the leading edge and suspect I miss some things completely. ( as demonstrated by discovering pod- casts by chance last week)

What`s with those touch screen tablet devices and why did 7" screens on the Eee not take off and yet they are smaller and more portable than a touch screen tablet.

Am I missing out on Blackberries for internet browsing (with a Qwerty keyboard) or are they an evolutionary dead end with their extra service charges over s60 Nokias?

Many questions...

What will we be posting on forums with in 5 years time?
