What does the future hold???
With terror plots on airlines and security ramped up in airports, what does the future hold for the geeks and business travellers alike. Hand luggage stripped down to just your passports and tickets. It is going to be a very long flight. No iPods, digital cameras and certainly no laptops.
These security measures are going to stay for a while. What hope can the traveller have? Airlines can certainly provide the devices. Security checked and especially sealed. We would be asking for a seat by the window, special meal and a laptop with a return flight to New York. You might wonder what about my work, my documents, that important file. Surely, we will see the rise of online storage, or log into the ftp server at work or home to access the important files. Online behmoths like Google and Yahoo providing ever more useful services, it may come to the point where you really dont need your own laptop to do some work in-flight.
