If I read this right, it means those who have most integrated technology into their lives don’t carry a computer with them:
As I mentioned earlier this week, I’m living out of webapps at the moment: Google Docs, Gmail, Reader, Meebo and the like. It has been a revelation: these things work really well.
I’m not the only one, it seems: Jeremy Zawodny is doing it, Tim Bray is doing it, and Matt Haughey has been doing it forever. There’s a definite alpha geek trend happening, which is always curious to watch. For me, I’m excited about having a tricked out Firefox on a USB stick, and not needing to travel with my laptop, but still having access to all of my docs, feeds, gtd lists and calendars, as if I was sat at my office desk. For someone who schleps a whole load of electronics everywhere I go just to be able to update a single text file, life just got a whole load simpler.
Given how easy it is to find a public access computer terminal here, never mind open WiFi, you probably could get by with a 2 Gb flash drive and leave the rest behind.
