Jojo, 10-year-old girl, sitting in elementary school. Like most children, playing can not be separated from daily life, in addition to studying, eating and sleeping.
Together with a younger brother, Ian, who was 6 years old, they both often play together.
Staying in a dense residential area, a little alley just passable two-wheeled vehicles, making them familiar play with children the same age who live around their homes.
Be a close friendship between Jojo and Ian, with Shakira and Noval who have a residence nearby. Start of play dolls, rubber, sport, until a small role in the drama 'playhouse game' or hide and seek.
Sharing, exchanging roles lends toys and hone their creativity.
Their friendship seemed hard to distinguish. Meet every day, play together every day, learning together every day.
But it turns out, the presence of Shakira and Noval can be shifted with the 'Tab'.
Seeing the child's age Jojo and Ian played in the era of tablet that are being pursued this technology is not a strange thing. In fact, my friend who had a 6 year old boy says his son is smarter using iPad than himself.
How attractive play tablet or iPad, colorful and nice picture. Game or games are fun and easy to follow by simply touching the screen.
Plus a sense of pride because this technology is on the rise. Never mind the child's age, adults also sometimes be 'autistic' with a tablet or iPad owned.
Along with inexpensive price of tablets around global, Jojo and Ian get a gift tablet from the mother. Only $99, android tablet can already owned.
Internet access and plenty games updated already in hand. As with any other tablet holder, if it is already playing games on this media seemed there was no time for anything else.
Every time allowed, should continue to play games. When else there is free time other than the time-time to play with friends in her neighborhood.
Shakila is not as important as the presence of Angry Bird in Jojo's tablet. No more time for Shakila, a friend who always accompany her while playing before attending a tablet. Until one day came a letter from Shakila.
"To: Jojo, Why do with your attitude lately?
You never play again with me.
If it is forbidden mother, why Ian was playing with my brother?
It because of tablet, right?
You don't want to play with me again.
What we can not play again like before?"
I imagined how lonely Shakila without the presence of Jojo. And how long that Jojo finally realize the loss of a friend who is more she needed to fill his days.
which is more important, tablet or a friend to Jojo? Finally Jojo replies the letter. Jojo's mother found the letter among the books in the school textbook on the Jojo's leaning table.
To: Shakila,
I've received your letter , what if I never play again with you?
Playing with my brother or someone else, just the same thing.
Our friendship finish here.
I won't play with you again, I was busy at home.
Your (ex)-friend, Jojo
Jojo's friendship finished with a letter. Jojo prefer a tablet as a faithful friend. BUT as we know the nature of children, fight today, tomorrow can play together again. But for tablet's problem, rather need a long time to restore their friendship.
