Electrical Beach

On Amazon.com they advertise their Kindle with an image of someone reading it on the beach:

Now there really isn't a problem with this, just that would you really bring your electronic device near all of that water and sand? This is exactly what I see so much now down at the shore. Everyone has an iPod or MP3 player, they have their cell phones and aren't just calling but are using texting functions and other functions. Why would you ever use this in a place that is so bad for your devices?

Maybe it is because people seem to just think they should take their devices with them always and use them anywhere. Maybe it is because they are the types to just sit out and not take part in the water or sand castle building. 

I can understand a junk radio or something, but your nice phone or iPod? Also, I can understand a somewhat junk digital camera as well. That is just the way things are going, but as of today I'm not sure how ready our devices really are for places such as the beach. There have been some water-proof cameras which actually work quite well.

I feel that it would be nice to take that new step in mobile devices to let you really bring it anywhere, on one side it would let you stay connected anywhere. Some might see that as a bad thing, but like it or not that is where we are headed. The first main company to introduce an amazing Earth-proof product will be the new leaders. There is no doubt in my mind.
