In a far more social article, Lazarus addresses the popularity of the many new kinds of gadgets that have found their way into numerous households in recent years. Lazarus talks about the many ways the gadgets can function, for families, children, or adults. They serve as tools and resources to new worlds of applications, games, and other productive outlets. Lazarus, however, plans not to invest his money this season on the new technologies we're so infatuated with. Lazarus explains many of the very tempting prospects he's considered, but also explains why it isn't the time to invest. He is particularly interested in the gadgets for portable reading. However, after experimenting with a few of the items on the market, he is unsatisfied. The Kindle, he believes, lacks powered processing. On the other hand, the Nook is not as versatile and does't have the same access to the many applications offered in the iPad and the Kindle. Lazarus plans to wait until something more ideal is developed, he believes it shouldn't have all of the unnecessary features that drive up the prices of the iPad, but will combine the positive elements of the Kindle and the Nook. Until then, Lazarus believes that the tablet craze just isn't worth the hype.
