so Lenovo approached us about sponsoring a piece showcasing their new Lenovo yoga book it's a thin light Android tablet with high-end specs including an Intel Atom processor 64 gigs of storage and four gigs of RAM and a touch sensitive haptic keyboard that they called a halo keyboard which serves two functions when you want to type a standard keyboard layout illuminates and you get this haptic feedback as you type in place instead of using physical buttons and when you prefer to take notes draw or even color the keyboard vanishes completely and you use a stylus in this case one with 2048 pressure levels called the real pen that lets you draw and even write on paper having it instantly digitized it's a totally unique piece of technology and once again as I was watching my kids break it in for me I found myself thinking the world they're growing up in is so different from the one that I did and here are nine reasons why number one when I was little my parents had to hang on to physical copies of my let's generously use the term artwork if they wanted to preserve them for the benefit of future camellia excuse me odd generations yeah my dad actually hold it held on to this for years apparently and gave it to me as a gift for my 30th birthday I love my parents but they're a little weird sometimes and if you've ever had a kid in preschool you'll know that this creates some significant logistical issues though most folks figure out a solution because it sure beats admitting that you lost it modern kids have a multitude of amazing tools to make life much easier and eliminate excuses nothing can ever be lost under the fridge again mostly number two inviting kids over to play was a totally different matter I mean this was considered a legitimate form of communication you want to come over and play nowadays no one even blinks when your 4 year old is texting his group chat to organize a play date number three taking pictures his soul much better now do you know what I would have given to be able to see in such clear detail what exactly it was I was capturing not to mention the instant gratification and viewfinders being only an approximate representation of the framing was the tip of the iceberg so darn it we kept our photos because by the time we got them we'd invested so much into getting them no matter how blurry or poorly composed they were number 4 coloring books weren't so trendy I mean sure kids liked them but parents for the most part seems to have other things on their minds not so today number 5 and actually not sure who had it better for this one when I screwed up at a little league sporting event I lost the game and I didn't get to go for pizza after nowadays it seems like everyone gets a prize regardless of skill or actual results so I guess that's pretty cool but my generation never had to worry about our mistakes turning us into minor internet celebrities number 6 when I was little we had stupid fads that consumed all of our pocket money I mean come on all you thirty year olds raise your hand if you didn't boast in the schoolyard about your new slammer at some point or another with that said at least when we bought useless crap at least we got physical useless crap though number seven physical isn't always an advantage this is a big improvement though I will say that ragequitting loses a little bit of its impact number eight the Pokemon experience was totally different when I was a kid people would stare at me walking around catching Pocket Monsters and go kids today faces buried in their screens they don't even look where they're going nowadays hey there's a map built right into the game totally different finally number nine when I was a kid I think it's fair to say that there was less courage in the world sure we had the courage to pay twenty dollars an hour in batteries to pull the wall plugs out of our boom boxes and even the courage to play music wirelessly on the go but we drew the line at headphones no it would take another 25 years for someone to have that kind of courage that is to say 25 plus how ever much longer it takes so thank you for watching guys huge shout out to Lenovo for sponsoring this video and providing us with their yoga book that served as the inspiration for many of the vendors now seal it so you can find out more about the yoga book at the link in the video description we'll have a link to the purchase page down there and if you're more interested in some additional video coverage you can actually click up here to find a couple of videos from other creators covering this very product and as always you can subscribe and like below and all of that good stuff thanks for watching and we'll see you guys next time
