My sister
travelled to the USA 2 months ago to a meeting in Atlanta. So my family and I
took the opportunity to buy some things on Amazon and ask the shipping to my
sis’s hotel. I bought little and cheap things but my aunt did a really smart
purchase. She invested on a “Kindle Fire”.
At first I
considered that a kindle was almost unuseful for a 54 years old lady but as
soon as the tablet was in her hands, she did her best to learn how to use it.
After 2 or 3 weeks she already knew how to buy books and how to check her
e-mail from the famous “kindle” I was amazed and I was actually happy for her
and her evolution on technology. My little 7 years old nephew that lives with
her had to read a book for school and asked me if the book was on the kindle
because he didn’t like to read from the paper. It was incredible that a 7 years
old boy asked me something like that.
And I realized that MAYBE when my nephew Vicente is 23 years old like me, the printed book won’t even exist and it will be just a piece of collection or
something like that. 
I am
wondering if that’s good or bad for our society, to evolve to an each day more
technologized world where essential things in life will be lost year after year
and something as simple as a notebook or a book will be part of the past of our
lives to leave the machines rule us.
