Face it: a big reason
news hacks are
raving Stevedom's Tablet is because they think It will force people back into buying their product and raising the money to hire 10 MILLION JERNALISTS. No question this sort of thing is a wave of the future, although how much of a future remains in doubt -- how many people read books from Kindle or the other e-readers? -- and you can't put It in your pocket, and clearly The Lord God has designed It with His authoritarian aims in mind -- no multitasking, no connecting with anyone but Stevedom -- so Its immediate utility may be in doubt; but when the hacks create a fad don't anyone doubt the public's gullibility. When does Stevedom finally prove mortal?
