Today I had to access some data on the go, so I took out my Macbook and searched for a wireless internet connection on the stoop of a local apartment complex. People walked by me and stared, as if I was some sort of 'lower class' individual. Eventually, I connected to a network called 'linksys' but I felt less connected 2 the modern world than ever.

Feeling like a 'little bitch' now that iPads exist. It's like the Macbook is no longer the status symbol of a 'relevant young person.' Laptops feel really antiquated now, like I am some sort of grandpa accessing a 100 year old version of the internet.

The glow of my laptop monitor seems dimmer than ever, now that iPads exist, lighting the way into the technological future.

iPads are ruining my life, making me feel less relevant.

Even my cat, doesn't want to play with me any more since he went to the Apple Store and tested out an iPad. He says it is more fun 2 play with the iPad games / apps than it is to play with 'boring ass non-intuitive cat toys.'

Feel like Steve Jobs ruined my life. I convinced my parents to get me a Macbook so I could write a hit chillwave EP, photoshop the album cover, and video chat with my friends from all around the world. But now I am stuck with a useless piece of technology. Maybe standard computers are just 'too powerful for me.' Feel wasteful, like I am wasting resources that could be used to find a cure for cancer.

R u ashamed of your laptop?
Is the Macbook now as 'uncool' as a Dell Desktop?
Is the iPad the perfect computer?
Is taking out your laptop in public sort of the same as lugging your desktop around in a huge duffel bag and setting it up in a coffee shop?
Is lugging around a desktop now more alt/authentic/retro than having a Macbook?
Now that the iPad is the 'most functional on-the-go computer of all time', will computers start to get bulkier for the sake of creating a new aesthetic?
Do u feel ashamed of ur Macbook?
Is the iPad the crowning achievement of modern society, sort of like 'our version of the wheel'?
Should I buy an iPad even though I live in a rural part of America that doesn't have a 3G wireless network?
