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.
