Que!!

There's something new in the world of publishing and literature. Que pourrait-il être? Peut-Etre le Que? Yes, the Que! The Que is the newest innovation to enter our lives, though you may not see it soon, because it is currently priced at nearly $800. This technology is 1/3 inch thin, and allows you to carry thousands of books, word processing documents, excel spreadsheets and powerpoints. Instead of carrying a heavy book bag, carry this 1 pound plastic e-reader. Almost like an ipod touch, the e-book has a touch screen and allows you to access documents and books, just not music. This sounds like a really good idea, no more squinting at small wording, or wasting trees, or losing documents; it's all you need at your fingertips. This may be helpful to readers and companies, but terrible for others. If this piece of technology becomes a household object, like the T.V, what will happen to all the ink companies, the libraries, and paper mills. True, this e-reader is good for the environment, but horrible for the companies that so many people work for. In this economy, can we afford to lose these businesses. Also, this product will probably be manufactured in Japan, out of reach for the workers of paper mills, and ink companies. Is the Que going too far?
