Paper-thin tablets are like magic slates for grown-ups.

As a cavewoman, the part of my brain that is capable of envisioning the future is the size of a beetle turd. So when trying to imagine computing devices of tomorrow, I was never able to picture something like this: a tablet thin and flexible as paper.

This reminds me of something I saw a small human child playing with. She called it a "magic slate". She could draw on it with a plastic stylus, and when she wanted to start over, she lifted up the top layer of sheer film, and then returned it, which erased her image. I thought it was a marvel among marvels. But now I see that it was merely what your people call a "toy."

This, is the marvel!
