Welcome to 2010: A Special Report
Tomorrow's Laptop
The Tube

It is tomorrow's laptop. Voice recognition makes a keyboard optional and a flexible liquid-crystal display changes the form from a square to a scroll that rolls out. Low voltage lets a pared-down processor do most tasks, and wireless access connects you to the Net for such heavy-duty applications as language translation.
