Take your tablets!

It seems that everyone has a tablet to sell these days. Apple of course, closely followed by Samsung, HP, Blackberry et al…

A while ago I read a personal review of the iPad, written by someone not in the technology field. His opinion was that the iPad was a fantastic gadget, easy to use, light to carry, but…he called it the ‘greatest time waster ever invented’.

Are these smart gadgets simply there to help us wile away the hours? Surely gadgets exist to help us be more productive so that we have more free time to spend with friends, family or relaxing?

Will our children and grandchildren be able to conduct a face-to-face conversation?

Who knows?

In the meantime, just keep taking the tablets.
