Have you seen the new laptops on those hefty space-age looking laptop stations?

Someone mentioned they look like the transformers. I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of those once we get live online. I guess this is some sort of desensitisation exercise since they actually encourage us to touch and feel it, “yeah, go ahead and log on, meet you new work buddy… buddy!”

These laptops are going to be our new best friend and together with those bulky stations (can they get any bigger?), will make our place look “high tech”.

I wonder where we’re going to park these things since they can take up a lot of space (about 2 feet x 2 feet) quite a sizable chuck of space almost the size of a mini refrigerator. Hmmm… maybe we need to cut out slots at the nurses’ station to create mini garages to park these things. I suppose the old laptop stations wheren’t big enough so they decided to go industrial strength. Good job!

Well, since space isn’t the issue, I decided to dream up my own, ultimate machine. Check out the RN 2000 (see above photo)… what more can you ask for?

This baby has a 10 horse power Gyro stabilizing motor with rack space that can accomodate a mini-Pyxis for quick and fast medpass on the go! It even has a built in GPS tracking system so in case the RN forgets to bring the Spectralink, we can still locate them with ease. Don’t let this baby fool you, you can actually tow a 300 lbs gurney or 5 wheelchairs with that back hitch attachment. Super kewl huh? And to top it off, it only takes up as much space as your current laptop stations with more functionality… more bang for the buck!

Now, I know what you’re thinking, and we’ve got that covered too. We actually have a driving in-service together with this setup, so you wouldn’t have to worry a bit. Plus we wouldn’t need to introduce these things until 2071!

Wackiness aside, one thing’s for sure… technology is here to stay and we’re adapting as fast as the market can create these products, hopefully to make our lives easier. Now if we can only find a space to put them… any ideas?
