We live in an age of technological wonders. We can see loved ones face-to-face through our phones, even if they’re thousands of miles away. A soulmate can be found with the click of an app. And instead of lugging stacks of books with you on a trip, all of your favorite reads can fit in one handy-dandy e-reader or tablet.
