So, an item of technology that I have recently purchased is my Android tablet, which is a Xiaomi Pad 6. So this tablet, the Xiaomi Pad 6, is an Android tablet produced by the Xiaomi company. And it’s an Android tablet that tries to mimic the feel of an iPad at half the price. So I bought it because I needed to get a tablet in order to perform my homework. And also in order to take notes in a Science Olympian training camp, because all of the notes were digital, so I had to get a tablet to take notes digitally instead of on a paper packet. Anyways, this tablet is actually kind of difficult to use because the software on it, for example, the note taking software is extremely buggy and crashes pretty often. So that means that whenever I try to take notes, it can sometimes just crash and delete all of my notes, which is extremely frustrating and annoying. It’s like a toddler that just kind of occasionally deletes all of your work. It’s kind of like a cat that walks on a keyboard and just types random stuff onto your computer while you’re working. Anyways, even though this tablet is pretty inconvenient to use, it’s still pretty useful in daily life because it allows me to decrease the amount of stuff I have to, the amount of items I have to carry around, for example, textbooks, homework, etc. All of that can just be stored on my tablet. So I can just carry my tablet around and do all my homework using my tablet. And I can also take notes electronically with my tablet.
