A LAPTOP IS MY FAVORITE CHOICE

One year's journey is certainly not a short trip. A lot of special items are available to consort with us along the trip. Besides clothing and personal care things, I would like to bring a laptop with me. In effect, a laptop will help me in several aspects. This is especially true when someone is on a long trip around the world.

As a threshold matter, laptop eases my fatigue from daylight's traveling. After a day long's walking and perhaps a happy dinner, I would be quite dreary when I return to hotel. Then, a laptop is the best instrument that relaxes my nerve. For instance, it is quite enjoyable to watch movies on laptop lying in bed. Vivid characters shown on screen surely wipe off tiredness and make me forget boring things happened during day time. Thus, laptop can help me out of tired status by playing enslaving movies and television programs.

Secondly, laptop also enables me access Internet at any time, at any locus, which makes me update to the latest news. For example, when I sit on a bench in a park or in train, I may power on my laptop and click the Explorer icon to read news in a browser. Thus, I will know what is taking place in other states: for example, how is election going on? Moreover, through laptop connected wirelessly to Internet, I can conveniently post articles in my blog, and share weird experiences in my trip with my parents and best friends. If they commentate on my blog, from this sense, I communicate with them throughout my one year's trip.

Thirdly, with the help of a laptop, I can easily review photos taken by digital cameras. For instance, a couple of ingenuous girls are playing games delightedly under high aspens, and I snapshot them after carefully selecting perspective. However, I don't know whether this photo is a consummate work. Then, laptop can tell me it is, or it isn't. The process is quite simple: the only thing I need to finish is to check the photo in my laptop. By viewing it in photo display software running in laptop, I can determine if it is necessary to shot another photo to reserve the very exciting moment.

In summary, laptop can satisfy my a lot of demands when I am on a trip around the world. I can communicate with friends in home, update my blog to share euphoria with them and check quality of photos. None of these things will occur without a laptop. Therefore, from my standpoint, laptop is requisite if I take a long time journey.
