One gizmo, one chore. Now imagine a host of specialized devices replacing a single powerful computer that tries to do a little of everything. Imagine a pocket checkbook, a drawing pad, a file-folder-size spreadsheet. Each would be self-contained but would communicate with the others through infrared light beams or radio links. The word I just looked up in the dictionary would be inserted into the letter I am writing; the right picture or spreadsheet calculation would become part of a report Im doing for work; my electronic checkbook would log on with the bank every evening to update and reconcile the figures.

　　We would no longer have to learn the arbitrary ways of the computer. We could simply learn the tools of our trade sketch pads, spreadsheets, schedules. How wonderful if would be to ignore the capricious Nature of technology and get on with our work.
