Disclaimer: I do not carry a bag, therefore I had to use my wife’s. Of course, she wasn’t happy about it.
Name: Shady’s wife
Place: Stony Brook, New York
Occupation: Contracts and Clinical trials Administrator in Higher Ed
What can’t you live without? Everything! (her response)
What’s the most surprising thing you carry? A checkbook she thought she did not have, she said. I asked again if she wasn’t surprised by anything else, she said no.
<NinjaEdit> What could be replaced by the iPad? Receipts, notes, business cards could be imaged and stored in EverNote. Coupons could be scanned out of the iPad as ecoupons. Eventually, checks and money will be handled with an iPad</NinjaEdit>
