People get their news from the internet now.

So while I agree that people shelling out $400 or whatever for the current iPads and whatnot are wasting their money, I do think that the tablets have a great future ahead of them.
Books are a cheaper option, more available, don't get bugs, more robust, easier to store and don't need a battery to be recharged.

I think the biggest fallacy is that technology will replace everything.
