A mythical “tech” creature

Is the tech industry taking after computers in Hollywood movies that are “thin and light, a single pane that jumps to life when touched” (”The Tablets of Our Dreams,” Fast Company)? It seems that technology is getting closer with a highly anticipated product people are calling the iSlate by Apple.

Check out NPR’s interview with Cliff Kuang on the subject of this mythical creature, which is expected to debut next week.
