I guess I am just a bit to literal of a person and don't understand the "deep thoughts" of many writers. Of course no one wants to buried with an iPad, the batteries will go just as dead as the corpse in a short time. And dead people have no use for anything anymore, especially electronic gadgets.

If he is only classifying analog/physical as "reality", then he is woefully out of touch with what is really happening in the world.
