When I read of the challenges with media and public acceptance of the RIM system (and it is a system) of products and services, compared with the iPad, Android, and now Fire consumption devices, one thing comes to mind...
Idiocracy. The movie. Available now for streaming on Amazon...
There is a reason this movie was never put into wide theatrical release. A future too real and too close.
I fear the iPad and similar devices are taking our society on the fast lane to a dismal future with a public who only knows how to press buttons with pictures on them to get mindless media products. You don't know how any of it works, because you are "protected" in the "walled garden" and given "curated" media.
And don't even ask what happens to the "Fuddruckers" restaurant chain...
