Cory, Cory, Cory . . .

I wonder how he can work himself into a verbose lather over everything technology related.
Now I understand. I’m not troubled by the idea of a device that I cannot open — I’m not interested in opening my television either. What makes me reluctant to get an iPad is the idea of an ever-present temptation to “check my stuff.”
I have an iPhone, and I fell asleep with it in my hand, so too late for me.
I am resisting the iPad, though.
