Farewell My Old Friend

The creative handheld device is clever in the way it is used.  It doesn't know that it holds volumes in information, technological advancement and human perseverance.  It is the best in portability, compatibility and in ability.  What is it that can be carried with ease, bring with it all the pleasures of simple tasks like research, scheduling, bird watching and more? Well, it is none other than the Samsung Galaxy 2.0 Tablet in white.


It lives with others of its kind, but it knows how far superior it is compared to that drab, clunky beast that sits in the corner stationary, sluggish and sad.  And to it, the tablet thinks, “Get up, rise up and be free old man!” But the tablet knows nothing of cords, connectors, modems and mice.  Its youth has it wrapped up in the splendor of freedom with the ignorance of a type writer, ever advancing towards a never ending goal which will never be in sight.  Yes, it is bliss this ignorance of attachments and age which will grace this young tablet’s presence some day.  For a moment, now in its prime, the tablet knows that compared to that old Sony desktop, it is the cream of the crop. But there is a hint of sorrow with this arrogance for it knows that it cannot stay young forever.  It has pity for the Sony without regret because it is living in the moment, cloaking any tiny morsel of an idea of its mortality.  “Live young, be free,” it shouts to me as I humbly plug it in.
