Technology... we can be done now.

Well, I am at the BYU bookstore to look at my new booklist for the spring. On the way into the bookstore, I passed the electronics section, where the IPAD is the new hot-ticketed item. For $700 I can have a giant computer that won't allow me to really type. As a writer, that would do me almost no good at all. I wonder why people seem to need so many new gadgets. Do they really improve the quality of life that much? I can think of so many other things that are more worthwhile for my money.
