I held off for as long as I could.
But with a new year coming up and resolutions already churning in my brain, I decided that I couldn't be without it any longer.
Long story short, I bought an iPad. And today, during my lunch break, I'm going to play with it and get used to it. So, blogging goes on the back-burner today so I can figure out my new toy. :)
But, I will leave you with this little gem. How crazy is it that my children, whenever I decide to have them, will probably only know newspapers as pieces of history and will expect everything to have a touchscreen? Is this good for society? Will they be outside-the-box thinkers or will they be easily-distracted and disconnected from the world around them?
As a word girl who literally smelled the old books she got for her birthday over the weekend, I'm saddened that this little girl is disappointed in the magazine.

it will be sad to say goodbye to freshly printed books. but think of how many trees we will save by going electronic! (trying to shove in a silver lining!)
