Why Tablet Craze? Post 8

" First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes". (Airplane 2) So first there was laptops next there were notebooks soon after that there was netbooks and know we have tablets such as the Ipad. Technology keeps evolving and big companies need to come out with something that sells to keep them in buisness. That is just how it works simple supply and demand. The big thing now is the Ipad but why is this device so applealing? I will give you the positives and then the negatives. 

The positives: It is cool. The new edgy cool device is an attention grabber. Fun. This device is touch screen and is larger than that tiny monitor on your phone to watch movies and play games and browse the internet. Apps. We all love apps and these devices had thousand of applications that will make our lives easier. Size. It is able to fit in your purse if you are a woman and could easily fit into a backback with a ton of rm to spare, it is also light compared to a heavy laptop. Battery life. These tablets to have good battery compared to laptops. Ease of use. They make tables very user friendly so anybody can operate them.

The Negative: Price. Ipads start at 400$ ouch. Size. Yes it is larger than a phone screen but you really need to carry another device on your person. Apple. Apple uses proprietary software. Will not replace a Laptop. You can read a book on this device but you are not going to write a lengthy paper on it. Dirty. Well I don't know about you but I have a thing with putting my dirty fingers all over a beautiful screen. It smears and you are constantly worried that you will get a scratch on it. Trendy. For some this is a plus for me every pompous hipster has one or is drooling over it, they worship everything that is apple and will constantly buy the newest device apple comes out with. That is lame in my opinion. 
If you really want a tablet I suggest getting a different brand, it will cost less, will be android, thus open source and do everything an Ipad can do without having that hipster elitist ora.
