Tablet...

We are not a family that needs to have the latest and greatest technological gadget. We have laptops and a very basic cell phone. We don't send text messages and have never used apps like goconnect. This might change in the coming weeks because I bought our family a tablet for Christmas. I thought it would be nice for us to have a small handheld device that we could use while on the treadmill or when we wanted to watch different television programs, and there wasn't a spare television. I don't want my family to become hooked on gadgets but I do recognize that the world is shifting and there may be a point where we need one of these gadgets as opposed to simply wanting one.
