Editing 728: iPad

==Explanation==
In this comic, [[Cueball]] is entertained by his {{w|iPad}} because messing around with it is so fun and feels futuristic. [[Megan]] tries to bring perspective to him by telling him that his fun is really not so fun because so many exciting and much more impressive things are to come. Cueball still objects, because that makes him feel that he's too easily impressed by trivial things, and says that Megan is spoiling his fun by trying to make his source of entertainment seem less cool.

==Transcript==
[A man is sitting in an armchair, playing with an iPad. A woman is looking over his shoulder.]
Man: Navigating Google Maps on the iPad is fun. It feels so futuristic.
Man: Swoosh! Zoom!

Woman: There are, right now, monkeys controlling robotic arms via neural implants.

Woman: A huge and alien future is barreling toward us. And I can't WAIT.

Woman: But no, your iPad is cool, too.
Man: Stop spoiling my future with your slightly more distant one.

-In this comic, [[Cueball]] is entertained by his {{w|iPad}} (which came out a few days prior) because messing around with it is so fun and feels futuristic. [[Megan]] tries to bring perspective to him by telling him that his fun is really not so fun because so many exciting and much more impressive things are to come. Cueball still objects, because that makes him feel that he's too easily impressed by trivial things, and says that Megan is spoiling his fun by trying to make his source of entertainment seem less cool.

-The title text is showing how Cueball is, instead of being horrified by all the new ways to die technology could present, like a scientist, enthralled by the many newer ways that death could occur.
