Extinction (Chapter 20)

I can remember growing up having a walk-man tape player, big bulky cd player that I use to rock with my old school head phones. Everything that I grew up with is now considered "nostalgic." When it comes to technology, newer and faster items take precedence over old systems. Take for instance the way we listen to music. CD players have basically become extinct due to MP3 players and Ipods. A survey of 1,555 consumers where asked the question if laptops would become "extinct" due to the influx of tablets. 50% of those surveyed said yes. I can believe this concept because the same applications and software that are offered through labtops, tablets are slowly offering the same applications. The advantages of tablets are they are smaller and more efficient, portable and price savy. More and more people are gravitating towards tablets, which means the future of labtops is uncertain. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2398731,00.asp
