Here, I suggest the development of the new” Ipad” from Apple will be a precursor for a wave of new light weight and powerful laptop type portable computers. This is due in Australia in March, 2010. If Apple has released their new product very soon, one can be sure all the competitors are very close to releasing similar such products. Google announced a similar type product, today. Some other companies with new similar products, include Acer, Leveno, Hewlett -Packard, Dell. Apparently, three dozen similar products were on display at the recent January, Las Vegas, Consumer Electronics Show. I am told that an Indian, low cost laptop is to be released shortly, it will cost less than $US25. While the Americans have released their low cost EEpC, at $120 it is still too dear for the third world.
And how does this relate to renovations? I hear you ask?
Well, the point is, in the USA where around 40% of people are working from home, on these computers. The advent of useful and powerful portable computers, will have many implications. Here are a few.

1 The renovation of an internal home office.
2 The addition of an outdoor room, as an office, into the home.
3 The building of a separate office entrance, to define the home office area.
4 Better heating and comfort for the home, as more people will be using the home, during the day.
5 A likely development in children’’s entertainment areas, separate from the” office area ” by insulation of separate walls, into the home.
6 From my recent Japan tour, I can advise travelling on the train, nine out of ten business commuters were using electronic devices, while on the train.
7 I notice the proliferation of coffee shops, with people tapping away at their laptop computers. People are now working from cafes and coffee shops: rather than being at home.
8 Just as the introduction of the telephone took 50 years to have its full impact, I expect the same with cheap mobile computer technology. My tip is, develop your own business products to market on the Internet. Another example is Real Estate agents making a dedicated website, for a specific home as a prime marketing tool.
Its about time these new computers made it easy, for the home owner when renovating.
