Tablets makes boomers even more useless with computers. The amount of intellectual laziness with one of the most important invention of modern age is absolutely staggering. It is crazy how you can use this shit for years and have absolutely no idea how this shit functions in the slightest and not be able to perform the most basic of task on a computer

>No idea how to even reach their e-mails
>No idea how to even enter a web address
>Absolute inability to even explain and replicate anything in the slightest
>Due to everything above, the inability to even adapt to the slightest change whatsoever

And of course, I'm the one stuck having to throw out everything I was doing to babying someone through it that cannot even answer the most basic of questions

@coolboymew Tablets are useless pieces of shit. Just oversized PDAs used to distract toddlers and have clients use to sign in at offices. Handheld gaming PCs or subnotebooks are probably a better option if you want something more portable than a laptop.

You're too harsh on tablets. They're nice for reading manga and comics and also watching something on the go.

@okabe_rintarou @coolboymew Just get an e-ink reader (they're less straining on the eyes). Color ones exist now. (goodereader.com/blog/product-c) As for movies, laptops are perfect for that. Especially if it still has a DVD drive.

@xianc78 This is the first time I hear about color E-ink readers. I don't know how good they are, but they're definitely expensive judging by the site you linked.

And laptops aren't very comfortable for movie watching on the go and cost more than a tablet.

It's not like I often use a tablet either, I just think there are some good use cases for them.

@xianc78 @coolboymew Forgot to mention that watching movies on a tablet is pretty easy via Netflix offline download.
