She prefers Internet-as-service and has no interest in "upgrading" to a real computer that she has to learn to use and maintain, even if it's ridiculously more powerful. Where's the equivalent service for today? Wii running Opera on HDTV? Maybe a netbook? What she needs is a computer that's remotely managed the way mobile phones are today. An iPhone connected to a monitor and keyboard would be perfect. My aunt still uses MSN TV (which bought WebTV) for email and a little bit of web surfing.

With remote control over the brake pedal. Or Pandora available everywhere instead of stupid XM Radio.

You've probably seen a lot of gadgets on TC due to CES, too. The post-CES time is a slump for gadget news, obviously, so we're covering nonstandard stuff. Either way we want to know what you think though, so keep commenting. It’s a bit of both right now. You’ve probably seen a lot of gadgets on TC due to CES, too.

It was a nice breather, and we chose it intentionally for the fact that it was an Internet-free zone. I didn't trust myself to stay off the web if it was available. Now, if we could just get ubiquitous mobile power, I'd be happy. We just spent two weeks on a tiny Panamanian island, far away from the web.

And the access will always cost money, a lot of money. As things have progressed since the intro of widespread Cable/DSL in the late 90's, the cost for access has actually gone up with no end in site. I am tired of all my "access" (phone, internet,cable,cell) having an minimum cost of entry over $40 and climbing.
