Enter the clipboard computer, a technology that has been in-development for the last 20 years but took hold in the mass market only this year. Clipboard PCs – which, as their name suggests, are not much bigger than an actual clipboard - replace the keyboard with a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen and an electronic stylus. Users input data by printing individual letters directly on the screen.
