Netbooks: A Utopian Design


In Designs, Designers are always finding ways to improve on the functions and designs of objects within society.

When we look at the first computer, each machine took up its very own room. As time passed; and as technology improved, the design of the computer evolved. Now a days, an average computer can run faster and more efficiently than past models.
On this chart, the evolution and design of a computer can be seen.

Computers used to be big, slow, and overall hard to use. We see the size of the desk top become thin like our modern day LCD flat screen televisions. This serves as a function for saving room in the area it is being used in.

Now, Presenting the Net Book:


This is one of the newest designs of a computer. If you think Laptops were small, light, and portable-- you haven't experienced a net book yet. This is one of the most portable computers ever to be invented that still retains an efficient ergonomic function for users. In addition, one of the five areas of research in ergonomics is performance. The net book may be small, but it has many functions and performs well. The net book on average, has a longer battery life and runs just as fast as a desktop. On the comfortability area of the research on ergonomics, the net book weights less than a laptop and makes it more comfortable for users to carry around.

Designs are always being improved in society all around us, the net book is one of the many Utopian designs designers are constantly helping out with.
