The President of AT&T’s emerging devices, Glen Lurie, says that the new tablet computers will take the place of latptops.  Tablet device sales are expected to grouw 23% by 2010, according to analysts.  “Starting in 2012 tablets will outsell notebooks, and by 2014, more consumers will use tablets than will use netbooks,” says Sarah Rotman Epps of Forrester Research Inc.  The technology of tablets will evolve to support multiple connections like keyboards and cameras.  “You’re going to see those 10-inch pieces of glass become full-on computers,” said Lurie.

MOMism: “The wave of the future.”  Technology is changing fast and we MAMAs have to stay on top of things.  As our kids get bigger, they get more into gadgets and less into...well, everything else.  Our kids figure out how to use it, and we have to not only mitigate that, but know what devices are out there and how they work, too, so we can figure out what our kids should and shouldn't be playing.  Screen time should be monitored and limited.  But, we won't know how to monitor or limit if we don't know what it is our how to use it?! Good luck to those of us who aren’t computer savvy!
