The Tablet Hype by Jack Schaer and new use of the word FLICK for flipping pages on a screen.
The Tablet Hype
They can't possibly save magazines and newspapers, says
Jack Shafer on Dec. 22, 2009 in Slate, using the word FLICK in a novel new way, instead of saying FLIP FROM PAGE TO PAGE, as most other writers do, still, even today, Jack says FLIP from page to page. This bears watching. FLIP is for paper pages, FLICK is for what we do on screens? I think so.
''Sports Illustrated dazzled the technorati and knuckle-draggers alike earlier this month with a demo of a digital tablet prototype of the magazine promised for 2010. Radiating a wow-factor equal to some of the media gadgets in Steven Spielberg's Minority Report, the SI demo promises full-motion video, lightning-quick screen refreshes as you flick from page to page, and the power to customize the device per your preferences.''
