As the Internet progresses from version 1.0 through 2.0 and now onto 3.0, we are seeing ease of access steadily increase. The primary movement in the last year or so has been toward access from any place, at any time; or ubiquitous computing. To accomplish this, technology has become portable. The form factor of such portable technology, whether it be a laptop, a cell phone or something in between, such as the iPad computer from Apple, determines in many ways how it is used. This paper looks at how the form factor of portable technology affects language learning in general and EFL (English as a Foreign Language) specifically.
