An e-reader will reinvigorate your reading habit, and give you something to do any time you have a spare few seconds or minutes. I carry an e-reader everywhere (I have big pockets) and have never regretted it.
How is it not electric?? You have trillions of fields and particle’s everywhere. How’s it not programmable? It’s computing new structures with gases at any moment.
You can think of the universe that way, but is it meaningful to say it's computing new gas structures? Maybe for some physicists. Metaphysically speaking, I don't think it makes sense for the universe to be a computer, unless we're inside a simulation. What would that even mean?
The electric part seems an arbitrary limitation. The original computers ran off food, which okay technically is chemistry which technically is just a minor application of coulomb's law, but ultimately you can use stones in the desert or water flowing through pipes to compute. Of course all this is still based off chemistry, but you can imagine computing with gravity or nuclear forces.
Oh Microsoft has a security failure? Imagine that. Only 40 years of non stop security failures in its history. Why anyone would use Microsoft products is beyond me. You can only blame yourself. Fool me once shame on you, fool me for 40 years shame on me.
I would love to know of a major tech company/product that has NOT had a security failure. This goes double for companies that provide hosting of services that hold juicy personal information.
