296. It's just a matter of durability
Think about the first calculator, or digital camera you ever had.

Ah, there's a good analogy, I remember all the film fans saying that digital cameras would never replace 35mm cameras for the ability to really bring out the depth in a subject. That was true when one or two megapixels was the best you could do, but technology marches on.

Newspapers and magazines are already being replaced by people getting their news over the Internet, someday soon, we'll have cheap, reliable, comfortable devices that you will be able to read anything on. Don't know what a word means? Tap it, and you'll get a dictionary definition that is in line with the context that the word is being used in that sentence. That's what I mean by the power of computer technology to make reading more accessible for people.
