...allowing families to link to the Net by a radio linkup. (As the town's few residents are scattered over 385 sq km, using copper or fiber-optic cable would be too pricey.) The Internet is connected to a set-top box on a TV, controlled by a wireless keyboard. Modalen's 2 megabits per second is roughly 35 times as fast as conventional modems. Each customer pays $18 a month for the service; the municipality covered the installation costs of nearly $345,000. It can afford to: Modalen earns more than $2 million a year from the nearby hydroelectric...
...decorated their futuristic flat in whites, creams and light pine to achieve, according to Raymond, "something a bit Zen." Both love the living-room entertainment center. They watch videos downloaded via a broadband Internet connection on a 42-in. (107-cm) flat-panel plasma screen, and use a wireless keyboard to operate the remote, surf the Net and dim the lights to a romantic, theater glow.

For me, a pen, whether Mont Blanc or Bic, holds no more charm than a bullock-cart or a charcoal stove. And paper is for reading, packaging and folding into little planes. In my world, keyboard and trackball reign supreme. So the folks at Anoto AB have their work cut out for them if they're going to convince me that plain old writing is the best way to get on the Internet. This start...
...here I am, back in Hong Kong at my beloved keyboard, which keeps me legible and - as a direct consequence - legitimately employed. I'm pretty certain most people will continue to type, rather than write, all their important documents. But I must confess to being seduced by Anoto's basic premise: old-fashioned pen and paper can be reinvented to fit the digital age. When the Chatpen comes onto the market, I won't be the first in line to buy one. But I doubt I will be able to resist for too long...
