Just like mobile phones, laptops are fast becoming a necessity even in the less developing world, though I am yet to accept them as such. Generally, it seems the rate at which we convert mobile technology to necessities we can’t do without is increasing everyday.

A Laptop, in its direct implication in terms of portability, is a mobile technology. Here in Africa, it will cost an averagely paid citizens at least three months to save for the cheapest available laptop ($300.00). Considering the fact that no one keeps a laptop at the top of priorities and does nothing else but save for it, lets make this saving period about 6 months.

Why would I save up to six month’s hard earned cash just to get a laptop? The answer is obvious, Because it is a necessity. What type of necessity? A can’t do without? The type at the top of my scale of preference?

If my job or education is not directly linked to me having a laptop, then I don’t consider it a necessity for me. I have a PC at my job site and one at home and since most of my time I must be at the job site or home, I can’t label a laptop a necessity. Call me old fashioned. Ha ha ha. But that’s true!!!

You may want to say if I had a laptop when my PC was giving me a hard time, it could have been my savior. Well, that true too.
