You’ve just seen something that will replace your PC
in the near future.
Here is how it works:



In the revolution of miniature computers, scientists have
made great developments with bluetooth technology…
This is the forthcoming computers you can carry within your pockets


This "pen sort of instrument" produces both the monitor
