Tablets first appeared in works of science fiction in the second half of the 20th century, with Arthur C. Clarke’s NewsPad, then in 1968 in ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ the Calculater Pad, in Douglas Adams’s ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and in Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek series. Then life started to imitate art and companies began releasing prototypes of the first ‘pads’.
Many prototypes hit the market in the late 80’s, the 90’s and 2000’s. Then in 2010 Apple is usually credited with defining the market with a new device they named the iPad. After this tablets became mainstream and we began seeing them everywhere. Source: Wikipedia

In today’s world many of us are used to our friends and family sitting in a room with us, while their heads are in another world looking into their devices. This video does a great job of showing us that sometimes it’s a good idea to put the technology down and spend some real time with the people who matter most.
