tablet
A tablet is an electronic slate that defies practicality, designed to multiply humanity’s wasted minutes. It wields the magic of touchscreens to favor images over words. With its Goldilocks weight and size, it obstructs avid readers and burdens mobile workers. Its battery meter doubles as an anxiety gauge, turning a mere gadget into a source of dread. Promised to replace both laptops and books, it often excels at neither.
