Usability at sea

Hello everyone.

Summer is in full bloom an in sunny splendidness. We are planning for a 4 days canoeing trip in the midst of the sea archipelago. So we pack our 2 sea canoes with well selected and adapted things: a tent, sleeping bags, sea clothes, binoculars and of course our life wests. we also need hats and sun glasses to protect us from the sun and from the glistening reflections of from the sea surface. with care we measure the amount of drinking water, food, kitchen utensils and what else? All these things are well developed, well selected and adapted for it’s purpose which in this case mean fitting to the limited space of 2 sea canoes.

Usability matters!

Some years ago this was about all. Today we also have the great possibility to be free from civilization by bringing wireless communication equipment. This does not only mean a cell phones with camera, SMS, MMS and other functions but also a notebook. Weather you choose such a sea life for relaxation or for mobile work purpose, the possibilities for wireless adaptation in different environments will be without borders.

The mobile life will no more be limited ot the traditional office. TCO Development has recently certified the first netbook. Great!

Will this mean that a netbook int eh close future can be used also for my purpose at sea?
