Mobile Internet – It’s all part of the plan

So I’ve recently had oppourtunity to play with the Rogers Rocket Stick.

Basically a 3G network connection for your PC via a small USB stick.

I have to say, while it may not work for everyone in every situation, I’m impressed.

I remember clearly  a time when a 1200 baud connection to connect to a single computer via a phone line was cutting edge technology for the home.

I’m now surfing on a laptop while driving down the road at 100km’hr  pulling a 4Mbps connection out of the air.

Any product that can do this for me is a winner.  It’s part of the network evolution I dreamed about and envisioned since I was about 12 years old.

If all goes well, in another 20 years I’ll be sporting a full heads up display seamlessly embedded into my field of vision and I’ll be querying the whole of humanity’s combined knowledge with little more than a twitch of thought.

Now, is it worth the money?  I can’t speak to that since it’s not costing me anything.

But if it’s expensive now, in a couple of years it won’t be so bad and I guarantee it will touch your life in some way.
