Description
Contact with Alien Civilizations: Our Hopes and Fears about Encountering ExtraterrestrialsThe proper study of mankind is not merely Man, but Intelligence. 1 Arthur C. Clarke, 1951 In the long running television series "The X Files," the original Deep Throat said to FBI Special Agent Mulder that "there are those like yourself who believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life." Ah, but that's not the question. If extraterrestrial life exists, most of it may be in simpler forms comparable to the one celled organisms of Earth biology.
The proper study of mankind is not merely Man, but Intelligence. 1 --Arthur C. Clarke, 1951 In the long-running television series "The X-Files," the original Deep Throat said to FBI Special Agent Mulder that "there are those like yourself who believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life." Ah, but that's not the question. If extraterrestrial life exists, most of it may be in simpler forms comparable to the one-celled organisms of Earth biology. Finding such life would be fascinating for scientists, but may be of only passing interest to the general public. What intrigues the average citizen is the possibility of contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. We want to communicate with other sentient beings, learning what they know and telling them about ourselves. We want to ? nd out how they are like us and how they are different. Microorganisms don't have a lot to say. There is another implication of contact that underlies this book: Intel- gent extraterrestrials might have an impact on our future. The information they send us--if any--might change our cultures. They could have c- scious intentions toward us, and possibly the technologies to reach us directly. Their intentions may be benign--or not. Our interest in alien minds is not new. The idea that intelligent beings exist beyond the Earth has been part of the Western intellectual tradition for more than 2000 years. Sometimes this belief was widespread; at other times, it was out of fashion.Binding Type: Hardcover

Solid Product
Color: Space Gray, Memory Storage Capacity: 32 GB, Size: Wi-Fi
Product is working very well. Only downfall is charging is a bit slow but, that could be related to the charge cord that came with it and not the device itselft.

Wow, it’s a bargain in acceptable condition. Works perfectly, and cosmetic condition is just fine (minor scratches on back, screen is perfect). Not buying new again.

It operates just like a brand new Apple iPad
Color: Silver, Memory Storage Capacity: 32 GB, Size: Wi-Fi
The item works great. It hasn’t given me any issues. The battery lasts pretty long clean no scratches no bumps only thing the charger didn’t work, but that’s not a big deal. The tablet is extremely loud. The quality is great. The screen quality is also great strong. It’s just like a brand new tablet the touch screen it’s normal. It works just like a brand new tablet. Everything is great on this tablet. Haven’t had no issues and I’ve always bought used tablets and it was worth the Buy worth the money.

Reliable everyday iPad with smooth performance but limited storage sadly
Color: Silver, Memory Storage Capacity: 32 GB, Size: Wi-Fi, Color: Silver, Memory Storage Capacity: 32 GB, Size: Wi-Fi
The Apple 7th Generation iPad has been a very reliable device for everyday use. It runs smoothly when browsing, streaming videos, using social media, and handling basic apps without lag. The 10.2-inch screen is a great size big enough for comfort but still easy to carry around. The display is clear and bright, and the battery life holds up well for daily use. Setup was quick and simple, and it connects easily to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth accessories. The main downside is the 32GB storage. It fills up very fast, especially with apps, updates, and photos, so it works best if you rely on cloud storage or don’t download a lot.
Overall, this is a solid and dependable iPad for students, casual users, or anyone who needs a simple IPAD for everyday tasks, Also I’ve had this iPad for about 3 months now… still in great condition
Update : I’ll have to remove a star since the iPad dies very fast out of nowhere unfortunately :(
