00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.160
so Lenovo approached us about sponsoring a piece showcasing their new Lenovo Yoga

00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:12.880
book it's a thin light Android tablet with high-end specs including an Intel

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:17.439
Atom Processor 64 gigs of storage and 4 gigs of RAM and a touch sensitive haptic

00:00:15.799 --> 00:00:21.840
keyboard that they call the Halo keyboard which serves two functions when

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:26.039
you want to type a standard keyboard layout illuminates and you get this

00:00:23.560 --> 00:00:29.519
haptic feedback as you type in place instead of using physical buttons and

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:35.040
when you prefer to take notes draw or even color the keyboard vanishes

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:41.320
completely and you use a stylus in this case one with 248 pressure levels called

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:43.440
the real pen that lets you draw and even

00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:48.520
write on paper having it instantly digitized it's a totally unique piece of

00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:53.960
technology and once again as I was watching my kids break it in for me I

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:59.719
found myself thinking the world they growing up in is so different from the

00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:01.490
one that I did and here are nine reasons

00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:09.840
why

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:18.560
number one when I was little my parents had to hang on to physical copies of my

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:20.159
let's generously use the term artwork if

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:25.520
they wanted to preserve them for the benefit of future humil excuse me odd

00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:30.280
Generations yeah my dad actually hold held on to this for years apparently and

00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:35.320
gave it to me as a gift for my 30 th birthday I love my parents but they're a

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:39.040
little uh weird sometimes and if you've ever had a kid in preschool you'll know

00:01:37.360 --> 00:01:43.960
that this creates some significant logistical issues though most folks

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:49.200
figure out a solution because it sure beats admitting that you lost it why did

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:51.280
you lose it modern kids have a multitude

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:57.759
of amazing tools to make life much easier and eliminate excuses nothing can

00:01:54.600 --> 00:02:00.719
ever be lost under the fridge again

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:05.000
mostly number two in inviting kids over to play was a totally different matter I

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:08.879
mean this was considered a legitimate form of communication do you want to

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:12.520
come over and play nowadays no one even blinks when your four-year-old is

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:18.920
texting his group chat to organize a play date number three taking pictures

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:23.480
is so much better now do you know what I would have given to be able to see in

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:29.120
such clear detail what exactly it was I was capturing not to mention the instant

00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:33.800
gratification and viewfinders being only an approximate representation of the

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:38.680
framing was the tip of the iceberg so darn it we kept our photos Because by

00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:43.800
the time we got them we'd invested so much into getting them no matter how

00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:47.200
blurry or poorly composed they were oh

00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:50.239
God number four coloring books weren't

00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:52.120
so trendy I mean sure kids liked them

00:02:50.239 --> 00:02:57.840
but parents for the most part seemed to have other things on their minds not so

00:02:55.480 --> 00:03:02.360
today number five and I'm actually not sure who had it better for this one when

00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:08.400
I screwed up at a little league sporting event I lost the game and I didn't get

00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:10.799
to go for pizza after nowadays it seems

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:15.480
like everyone gets a prize regardless of skill or actual results so I guess

00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:19.480
that's pretty cool but my generation never had to worry about our mistakes

00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:25.319
turning us into minor internet celebrities number six when I was little

00:03:22.760 --> 00:03:30.360
we had stupid fads that consumed all of our pocket money I mean come on all you

00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:34.720
30-year-olds raise your hand and if you didn't boast in the schoolyard about

00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:39.640
your new Slammer at some point or another with that said at least when we

00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:47.879
bought useless crap at least we got physical useless crap though number

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.879
seven physical isn't always an

00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:54.599
advantage this is a big improvement

00:03:52.439 --> 00:04:00.519
though I will say that rage quitting loses a little bit of its impact number

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:05.040
eight the Pokémon experience was totally different when I was a kid people would

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:10.480
stare at me walking around catching pocket monsters and go kids today faces

00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:16.199
buried in their screens they don't even look where they're going nowadays hey

00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:21.320
there's a map built right into the game totally different finally number nine

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:27.320
when I was a kid I think it's fair to say that there was less courage in the

00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:29.080
world sure we had the courage to pay $20

00:04:27.320 --> 00:04:34.479
an hour in batteries to pull the wall plugs out of our boom boxes and even the

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:41.360
courage to play music wirelessly on the go but we drew the line at headphones no

00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:47.360
it would take another 25 years for someone to have that kind of Courage

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:51.479
that is to say 25 plus however much longer it takes so thank you for

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:54.759
