We live in a world where technology is moving forward. Computers released four years ago are already more than obsolete, smartphones as well. The rhythm is intense, the novelties come in large quantities and it is not difficult to stay behind in this technological race.
These days we do things on the phone that were unimaginable until a few years. We access our bank accounts, make payments, purchase, communicate with our friends, etc. And one of the questions that echoes the most is: When did we become so dependent on our electronic devices?
The truth is, we are very dependent on our own. gadgets. We have a phone that not only makes calls, a computer that not only serves for college jobs and a player that not only serves to listen to music. All our devices have a few more functions than those originally intended for it. An example of this is iPod Touch, Apple player who, in addition to playing their songs and videos, accesses the internet and gives you the option to install hundreds of apps available in AppStore.
However, in this constant evolution of electronic devices, we have a function orphan: The tablet. Do you know what one is for? Obviously many people have already assigned dozens of uses to their devices, but does it have a primary function? A boss car? And the biggest question of all: Do I need a tablet?
