This article had a lot of interesting information about what a personal notebook can do for an individual. I found that it was informative on how such a device would can affect an individual and how we would communicate based on using a 'dynabook'. For things we do everyday it would be able to do for us. This idea is applied to us today through ipads and netbooks and tablets.
This article really pointed how technology could impact an individuals life. There are so many parts of one object that can be shaped and designed to make our lives easier. I do not personally own a tablet or an ipad but I feel that these are sources that help us communicate even more quickly. If a person didn’t have their laptops, smart phones or computers they could use a portable notebook to communicate.
I found it useful to learn from page 393 that “the interactions of humans with their media have been primarily nonconversational and passive...”. Media like books, magazines, and newspapers where you read the information and got the message and didn’t really have to convey a message back immediately after reading it. Text messaging, social media, email are types of communication where instant response is practically mandatory.

Hi Catalina. It is amazing to see the advances in technology that have made the Dynabooks ambitions real in modern day life. I own an iPad and the numerous purposes it serves in my day to day life are amazing. While I still use my PC at home, the iPad is with me all the time. I use it for college, for communicating with my friends at home and for personal use. I have friends that own a boutique and have iPads throughout the store for shoppers to browse their online store and purchase items online while shopping in store. As I am travelling at the moment, the iPad is great as it is so convenient and easily transported - I could not imagine my life without it. Your point that technology does impact our lives greatly could not be more evident than in my example with my iPad and my personal life. While I probably don't NEED my iPad the convenience it has introduced into my life is something that I would have an extremely hard time giving up.
