More and more technological advances designed to aid driving and to make driving safer can, in some cases, have the opposite effect. Automobile dashboards are starting to look like aircraft cockpits and, as any fighter pilot can tell you, more and more instruments and displays can be overwhelming; preventing the pilot from doing the basic job of actually flying the aircraft. Computerized displays in the dashboard can be very distracting and some safety innovations can give the driver a false sense of security leading to more dangerous driving behaviors. A recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) study conducted by Virginia Tech showed that 80% of vehicle collisions involved driver inattention within three seconds of the event. A car traveling at 40 mph covers almost 60 feet per second and a driver whose attention is diverted for just two to three seconds can cover up to 176 feet. A lot can happen in that short span of time.

In-Dash Computers – New powerful computers are available that offer entertainment, GPS, and standard computing options. They come equipped with wireless Bluetooth technology, touch-screen controls and USB ports for adding keyboards to write emails.

What is a Netbook

A Netbook (InterNET and noteBOOK) is a class of Laptop computer designed for wireless communication and access to the Internet. Netbook is primarily designed for web-browsing and emailing. Netbooks are gaining grounds on their compact design, slimmer looks and sleeker appeal.

Netbook is a Notebook computer with a low-powered x86-compatible processor (compatible with PC standard software), small screen (no larger than 10 inches), small keyboard, equipped with wireless connectivity, lightweight (under three pounds) and generally with no optical disk drive. They sometimes have Solid State Drives (SSDs) instead of Hard Disk Drives, which are lower capacity but have no moving parts and should, in theory, increase battery life and speed. Netbooks can run either Linux or Windows XP.

Why a Netbook

The obvious question is why should anyone buy a device with a smaller screen, slower processor, no optical drive when  you can get a full-featured notebook?

When it comes to a portable computer, the things that matter to most are speed and convenience.A Netbook is more convenient because it is lighter, and it usually has a lightweight operating system. The processor itself isn’t as powerful, but there’s much less processing that needs to be done with Windows XP or Linux in order to be usable.

If we are just looking for a portable computer to take along with us while traveling, to check e-mail, chat on Skype, watch some Youtube videos, take some notes, then a Netbook is what we want. Where as if we’re going to do intensive image editing, multimedia authoring, gaming etc then a Notebook/Laptopi is more suited for our needs.
