| Life goes on, humans evolve, and devices go mad. The eternal technological development has entered a phase where fewer things are being invented, while more things are becoming universal. But there seems to be a very slight borderline between universality and all-inclusivity. The present-day device competition in the world of high technologies leads to multifunctionality that sometimes exceeds common sense. It is understandable why phones go smart, why they acquire high resolution cameras, why they gain access to the Internet, how they become intended to control remotely processes and even why there appear to be video calls. Then, someplace around the smartphones we have big screen tablets that remain ones as long as they don’t make calls. The functions of the two devices are often identical, and all there is to distinguish them is the application of a tiny SIM-card that makes a difference. Now, from the whole different dimension come laptops, a branch of portable holonic units destined to perform utmost computing. It is an absolute self-sufficing invention that has a very specific narrow evolution path, but a well-proven structure and clear essence. It is very unclear why some manufacturers think it useful to combine various devices with different destinations. Particularly, Lenovo has unveiled the newly designed IdeaPad U1 Hybrid that combines a beheaded Windows-running laptop and a LePad tablet that can operate separately and function as a laptop display. The tablet is currently powered by Android 2.2 and is planned to be upgraded to 3.0. Once attached to the laptop, the tablet requires a single push of a button and becomes a display, but, detached from the PC, it leaves it running and later allows you to continue working where you left off. The two devices are even sold separately: $500 for the LePad and $1.300 for the laptop. The use of this hybrid is very vague. Perhaps, it required great efforts and unordinary software development to be created, but can’t it be compared to a stove that can transmit television with an oven, or an iron that can spin attachable stirrers from a mixer? People have distinct needs, and they are known for being self-aware, too. Shouldn’t the world progress contribute to highlighting particular needs of a human as oppose to their generalization? |
