The best inventions.

It allows us to work anywhere, and has made our working lives so much easier. The idea for the first laptop (or portable computer) was created by Alan Kay in 1968. Kay wanted to make a personal computer (PC) for children to learn computer skills. It was known as the Dynabook. In fact, the Dynabook was never built.
