This is the essay from Step 3:

 

Laptop is the medium that powered creative multimedia

Mobility, I’m pretty sure that word comes to people’s mind first when we talk about laptops. Laptop’s, as explained by Wikipedia, is a personal computer designed for mobile use. It integrates most of the typical components of a desktop computer, including a display, a keyboard, a pointing device and speakers into a single unit. Meanwhile, creative multimedia is the vehicle in which emerging technologies drive home the concept of multimedia communications in business, art and design, entertainment and education.

Laptop is the answer to all the concept of creative multimedia, it can do all kind of works related with this technologies. Fulfilling the title as a medium that can work anywhere, and mobility as its major strength, laptop’s been used by professionals as well as students to create something and not to forget, to search something in these multimedia era by using internet. Arts have no boundary, same goes to laptops. It can increase the productivity of someone as they don’t need to stuck in front of their desktop searching for ideas instead they can go out and get some ideas by bring out their laptops, sit in the park, inhale fresh air, believe me, it certainly can help them searching new ideas. Besides that, the size, low power consumption, quiet, battery and all-in-one features certainly proved as other major factors that leads consumer to choose laptop as their portable medium that powered creative multimedia as these technologies are limitless.

The creative media and information businesses have always been a crucial contributor to the economy. Together, the creative and media business sectors invest, produce and disseminate a huge array of content that educates, informs and entertains the public. It is this creative content that people are looking for when they are connecting to the Internet, activating their broadband connection, switching on their mobile phones or choosing a channel on their TV service.

Since laptop is widely used in today’s life style, a lot of artists started using it to design and create their works. There’s a lot of application and software that can be used by the artists to design and create the work. Some of the most popular software used for drawing and painting was Corel Painter, ArtRage, Adobe Illustrator, ArtWeaver and CorelDraw. Other software like Adobe Flash, AutoCAD, DAZ Studio, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Photoshop was used to make 3D modelling, animation and also to edit photos. There are a lot more software like this to help modern artist do of create their master piece by just using laptop.

With all this software, artist can make their works anywhere their like and anytime they want. Unlike in the old days, the artist does not have to go outside to draw or paint their artworks but they can do it at their house or at a coffee shop instead. They also don’t have to concern about the weather such as rains or snows or even hot weather. They can also save a lot of money using the software because we all know that the tool for painting and drawing does not come cheap.

In the future, laptop will be known and used in many ways. Laptop can also be improved in the future by upgrading its functionality and power.  Ultimately the next generation of laptop that will be deemed as truly revolutionary will have to incorporate once specific aspiration that is to be far more environmentally friendly and have considerably more power saving functionality. One way for designers to conserve power without sacrificing brightness however it is to utilise the new OLED technology organic light emitting diodes are rapidly becoming the hottest development in computer and television design for the unbelievable sharpness, brightness and impressively low power consumption. 

As for the designs, laptop could be design in many ways in the future. One of the examples of the future laptop is the Roll Top laptop. It is a flexible notebook concept that can be folded like a roll of paper allowing the user ultimate convenience of carrying and storing it even in a congested place. It features a 17” flat-screen OLED display when fully rolled out with the multi-touch facility that will offer the ease and functionality of that of an iPhone. Also, when required, it can be folded into a 13” smart tablet pc. Aside from the touch-screen controlling, it features fully fledged keyboard like conventional notebooks with which convenient typing can be performed. When folded, this compact notebook takes the size of a water carrier and can easily be hanged over the shoulder with a hanging belt.

The future of the laptop is bright, as it is such an important device to society there is a great deal of work being undertaken to find improvements. One thing is certain, the laptop of the future will be faster, stronger, easier to use and this will also contribute to empowered creativity in people’s heart.
