    I’m a tech head, I’ve generally got to have the latest gadgets, but im a little worried were going to have a generation of people that when their battery dies on their tablet and they need to write a shopping list that they’ll spend 3 hours looking for the charger instead of getting a pen and paper… are we going to see the old “the dog ate my homework” become “my iPad crashed?”
