Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s we started to be able to use WiFi on laptops and connect to the Internet with some mobility.
Almost everyone had the fantasy of working from the beach or their garden in the sun.
It turns out that sitting down trying to read a screen in direct sunlight for hours sucks ass, which everyone who tried it discovered before moving back indoors.
e-paper remains the solution.
Even if you could see the screen easily, a (good) desk and chair make a huge difference. Also, laptop + sand might turn me into Anakin.

Not so much fun for the camels though. Could have done that standing on a rock instead of a living being.
all about the mindset
But now the camel has had that experience, and thus a win
It’s all about the mindset.
Camels are really strong.
It would be like you holding a kitten in your hand.
The camels that are kept for tourist attractions are usually badly mistreated though
True story.
One of the most famous bombs in Hollywood history is ‘Ishtar.’ Big budget comedy that completely tanked.
Early in the production, a team was sent to the Middle East to set up for filming. One thing on the ‘to do’ list was buy an ugly camel. They needed a really awful looking beast. The first day at the camel market the first camel they see is hideous. Team decides that they have to wiat, they can’t buy the first camel they see. After a few days it becomes obvious that the first camel was, in fact, the ugliest camel in the country. They go back to the market and ask about the camel. No longer available. What happened to it? Oh, we ate it.
