So, fads that they are, why pick the 2014 date as the time when I think they’ll be relevant? Because that’s the year that I expect all of the needed pieces to be available for some really good, really cheap dumb-terminal style tablets. Sub $100 color reading devices that can be viewed in sunlight, and tossed across a table with as much carelessness as we see from Captain Picard with a table full of PADDs.
Boldfaced emphasis added by me.
