[*]Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) - hand-annotating documents and books
|
Disagree. I can hand-annotate documents on my iPad too. I don't think annotation ability by itself is revolutionary. It is a natural consequence of touch screens. IMO the agent who popularised capacitive touch on a large screen deserves the credit, whoever it may be (I do not know whom to attribute it to).

[*]Decline of print medium for magazines and newspapers (ongoing) - in favour of social media links or search engines
|
Disagree. Print is not in decline. If anything, with growing population and literacy world-wide, print has never been healthier as a medium for dissemination and consumption of information.
