Another day closer to getting home, but still a couple months left. It's like there's a light at the end of the tunnel - or atleast, finally it's starting to appear, even if it's only a speckle far away. Today I was reading some interesting articles on CNN, specifically in the "Tech" section. You may recall, I stated was huge on technology, and while I won't get into all the articles I read, I did want to point out one or two.
http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/01/08/ces.ereader/index.html This article gives some general information about some of the new e-readers from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that we can expect to emerge sometime in 2010. I was particularly interested in the "Skiff Reader", which features some highly durable construction, it's thin, lightweight, very portable, and 11.5 inches. When you think E-Readers, you'll probably think of the Kindle. These take it a step (or two) further, and each one presented in this article has some neat features that the others don't. It's really up to your preference. Overall, I think these are fantastic.
Some of you may be well aware with how difficult it is for paper-bound products to compete with all of the digital/electronic media. Eventually, I expect these E-Readers will replace (with few exceptions) our bookshelves, newspapers, and all sorts of other things. For everyone who's on the green-conscious side, you're saving some trees! I say that light heartedly, but it is true. I'm sure there's some argument about how they'd use more energy, but I wouldn't entertain it (realistically it takes more resources to produce books, newspapers, etc, than it does for a few watts to run an e-reader, even on mass scale).
Either way, I'm really looking forward to e-readers, hopefully I can snag one of these ones right as they come out; mark me down for one Skiff Reader, please.
Besides that, there were a few other interesting articles on CNN, but I might get into those later, and by later I mean maybe tomorrow. =)
From your favorite Armchair Commando, live long and prosper.
