'The Tablet'

António Granado chama a atenção para a entrevista que The Independent faz a Bill Gates: "In Gates’s future world, paper becomes a thing of the past and there are no textbooks, no magazines and (from 50 years or so hence) no newspapers. Instead we will carry an object he calls the tablet, a slim device like a clipboard that will cater for all our information and entertainment needs and will revolutionise our lives within a decade.“The tablet is the place where it can all come together,” he says. “I definitely see the tablet, whether it’s textbooks going digital or the newspaper going digital or magazines going digital, I see the person with that very, very thin, - we don’t have it yet today - very inexpensive, high-bandwidth, wireless device… where a lot of the print and video consumption will take place.”
