gScreen’s dual-screen laptop offering is finally here. Can added utility outweigh a hefty price? ($1899) “Unlike Lenovo’s past offering, in which an extra little screen was cool but not essential enough to justify lugging it around everywhere, gScreen has a complete dual-screen setup that’s far more portable than a comparable desktop solution would be. As a mobile workstation, gScreen might just have something. Designers and those in finance, to name a couple, could certainly find use in being able to bring a pair of screens with them anywhere.”

Entrepreneurial communities grow up around smart people. Whenever someone in state or local government asks me what they can do to accelerate entrepreneurship, I always tell them to put as much money and energy as they can into education. If you build a broad base of smart, inquisitive, curious people that are long term members of your community (e.g. they don’t move somewhere else), you’ll be delighted with the results over a long period of time (think 20+ years).
Big Think is a global forum connecting people and ideas.
It may be a cliché to say that knowledge is power, but that doesn’t make the statement any less true. We know that there are just 24 hours in a day, that you are bombarded with information, and that the bombardment will only escalate.
We believe that not all information is equal. We believe that expertise is invaluable and should be shared. If you had a heart problem and could afford the counsel of the world’s leading cardiologists, you would seek their advice. If you owned a business and wanted to expand into China or Russia, you’d want to hear from people who had already done that. If you planned to write a novel or a screenplay, you’d want to get pointers from the world’s leading writers. At Big Think, we put you in contact with the ideas of very smart people.
We do not believe that experts have all the answers. On many subjects deep thinkers disagree. We do believe that we will all make better decisions in our personal and professional lives if our thinking is informed by expert opinion.
