You're in the middle of a highway, stuck in traffic and running late for office. Suddenly your boss calls and he wants you to check your email or check the internet for something that is very important, so important that it will make or break your career. There's no gasoline station near you so that you can stop and connect to a free wi-fi. If there's one, connection is so slow that it will take you hours before going to one page to another. What will you do? You might say mobile phones can do the trick but still this hand held phones still have limits when you use it on the road.

Isn't it so convenient if your car is also a PC and has an internet connection?! Especially now that everything is high-tech and computer aided. So I believe this thing is possible.

There will be a button that when pressed, one-fourth of your wind shield will turn into your monitor. There's no need of a keyboard because everything will be voiced activated. Speakers of your car will act as the receiver when you speak.

For example, you need to check your Yahoo mail.

Step 1: press the "button" so that the monitor will appear on your wind shield.

Step 2: say "go to yahoomail.com" (computer will type it automatically and will direct you to the site)

Step 3: say "user name Juan dela Cruz; password pinoy" (again, computer will type this for you)

Step 4: just say what file or the senders name so that the computer will open the message

Step 5: either you read the email or just say "computer read" so that the computer will be the one reading it and you will hear the message in your speakers.

Step 6: if you want to reply, you just need to say "reply" then say your message and the computer will automatically type your message.

Step 7: if done, just say "send"

When checking websites:

Step 1: press the "button" so that the monitor will appear on your wind shield.

Step 2: say the website you want to visit (computer will type it automatically and will direct you to the site)

Step 3: do your browsing

One might say that this can cause accidents because the driver's attention will be divided. So to control this, computer will only be activated if the car is in parked mode or stopped. If you are in the middle of the road, you need to use the shoulder lane or emergency bay so that you can stop and do your thing in the computers. If you will try to activate the computer while driving, the car will automatically slow down until it stops completely. 4
