I know technology is progressing toward smaller and smaller form factors, but at some point the consumer will miss being able to recognize the computer. I’ve seen that happen already when teachers look at the current version of iMacs. “Where’s the rest of it?” is a common question. Here are a couple of other contenders for the same question.

A name that is new to me in the computer industry is Marvell. Not to be outdone by anyone else, they have introduced a wall plug computer. It looks like a power adapter that plugs in to the wall. This one will definitely leave people wondering where you are keeping your computer.

At what point does small become too small? Is there something comforting or reassuring in a box with lots of cables sticking out? Do we need to see our computers at all any more?
