This has reminded me of something that happened a couple of months ago. I was at a seminar and there was a guy in the row in front of me who was taking notes on an iPad. We had to sign a register, which we passed round.

When the register reached the guy with the iPad he turned to the man behind him and asked to borrow a pencil. The man handed him a pencil and the guy with the iPad said (quite sincerely) "Thanks, I don't carry pens any more because I write everything on my iPad"

I thought "well done, you've replaced the useful £1 pen with a less useful £500 iPad" /sarcasm. It's not something you should say with pride.
