Tablets, Tablets, Tablets, OH MY!

There has recently been the explosion of tablets to hit the market. It seems like every company is now putting their own spin on the little computer you can hold in your hand. But let’s be honest, are they really worth it? I do not own any tablet, but my father owns a Kindle Fire and I have friends who have ipads. I think new technology is grand, but after a while it starts to lose its appeal. I played with an ipad for and 20 minutes one day and I was bored with it. I guess the main positive is that tablets are convenient; it’s like a laptop, but without the bulkiness that comes along with it. It’s nice if all you’re mainly doing is surfing the web, but not so much when you need to do actual work. Typing on those things is a nightmare and they don’t have that much storage space. I hear many pros about it them being good for car rides, but what if you’re like me and get car sick? I guess we’ll have to wait for the tablet that prevents car sickness. I personally don’t understand the craze and excitement about the min ipad. You are basically many tons of money for a larger phone that doesn't make calls. I think if you really want something that is has all the function of a laptop but the wonder of a tablet you should definitely go with Microsoft Surface. It’s easy to carry and sleek, but still big enough that you can see what you are working on, and comes the a keyboard that doubles as a case. Personally tablets are not a big thing for me, but I know a lot of people who love them. I’ll just be waiting to get excited for the next new piece of technology that will be out next year.
