Mobile Offices: Never Go To Work Again

Meet John Q. Deskjockey. He spends the best part of gorgeous Spring days tethered to a desk in a white-walled box with fluorescent lighting and a picture of his favorite mountain lake hemmed in by a decorative frame on the corner of his work station. And while the breeze of the air conditioner provides an altogether metallic comfort, John still drifts away to far away places he can't get to until Saturday. Or worse, August. If he could only John's daydream expands until finds himself on a pontoon boat, sitting cross legged in Bermuda shorts, fishing pole balancing delicately on the side, a laptop in front of him. While the worm dances beneath the surface of the water charming the small mouths, John is e-mailing a spreadsheet and chatting with his boss on his Bluetooth headset and WiMax, the son of WiFi, which, once all proper transmitters are in place, will allow broadband Internet in the most remote places. Place WiMax in bed with ever expanding cellular networks, and hands free Lexmark P315, complete with a nifty little handle for toting, atop your beer cooler, and jump drive your photos to print on the fly.
