The Kindle
I just...hate the Kindle. And it's irrational and it's stupid and I'm friends with lots of smart people who love the Kindle for very smart and practical reasons. But I can't shake the feeling that all these e-readers are going to lead to the eventual elimination of real books. Not completely, of course, but practically. In about 5-10 years real books will be like LPs are now to music. Sort of a quasi-elitist footnote to how most people actually interact with text.
I mean, I'm already one of those people who's banging on about how real books "read better" than e-books which just makes me sound like an idiot. I can only imagine how insufferable I'll seem in 10 years. I'm 31 and I already feel obsolete.
