Good grief! ️ I"m already struggling with these touch screen devices. It's hard to even hold the phone securely without ever so lightly touching it and launching some unintended action.

Now this new Googlebook sounds like the system will go one step farther. It's going to decide what I want to do even when I'm navigating the screen under complete control, trying to do something else.

I'm was a command line guy-- years of working as a Unix/Linux administrator. I'm accustomed to giving instructions to my computer, not the other way around.

But since I retired several years ago, I feel like computer software and hardware design has raced light years ahead of my ability to comprehend.

I've literally gone from configuring UUCP to transfer data between hard wired systems to now transferring text messages to friends by voice command over wireless networks. I remember when every system on the Internet (Arpanet in those days) had to be listed line by line in a text file that everyone had to download.

Instead of buying a Googlebook, maybe I'll go dust off my old IBM ThinkPad, install some Linux distro and just enjoy the good old days.
