Why has no one invented a laptop where...

The interior is both a hard drive and a scanner. Sure would make it easier to get pages on your computer if you could just lift your keyboard up, pop a piece of paper in there, and scan it up...

Why has no one made such a thing??!! Am I the first to conceive such a technological function??

Certainly would be useful.

Maybe someone will read THIS blog entry, get inspired, and actually BUILD ONE.

Yeah, that'd be cool too.

But the real trick would be finding a glass surface, or imitation glass that was both clear and non-flammable so laptops wouldn't get overheated.

Hmmm.....

Heh! Ha! I can already just picture a mincing idea-hungry Bill Gates tapping his fingers together as he looks over this blog, plotting to steal my idea and package it as a Microsoft product", sitting back and laughing. Maniacally.
