Steve Rubel is on day two of a week-long business trip, and he’s doing it without the aid (burden?) of a laptop PC. From his bio, Steve is “Director of Insights for Edelman Digital, …responsible for keeping Edelman and its clients in the vanguard.”
I, for one, am not sure I could swing it, but Steve and many of his commenters are able to pull it off. There seems to be a commonality of reasons and methods for breaking the laptop tether. Check out the post and tell us what you think. I think it is only a matter of time before even stalwart laptop luggers like myself can make the jump to laptop-free travel.
