Tablets Taking Over


            The loss of real objects has been spreading around like crazy ever since computer tablets have become real not too long ago. These items such as books, magazines, photographs, etc. are all loosing their presence in society because who wants to carry 10 magazines on an airplane that may add a good twenty lbs to your luggage, when instead you are now able to take hundreds of magazines and books in a small tablet that weighs around 4 lbs. People are appreciating these tablets because they bring our whole world into something that is only ten inches big and can travel anywhere. But what would the world do with out tangible objects. Opening up a magazine is an experience, one that you cannot fully get from swiping your finger across a glass screen.
            People are at a loss because they find this sad that these items are slowly disappearing, but at the same time everyone is always looking to make their lives a bit easier. And who wants to carry around extra baggage when they do not have too. It seems that no matter what we do, we will lose different items to these tablets, but only time will tell when everything will be lost to a computer screen.
