Cuneiform is a script, originally developed for writing the Sumerian language during the 3rd millennium BCE, consisting of characters impressed in clay with a wedge-shaped reed stylus. The name comes from the Latin word cuneus, or “wedge.” Generically speaking, cuneiform is any writing system that uses wedge-shaped symbols.
Originally a kind of crude picture-writing, cuneiform evolved into a true alphabet as characters were simplified and abstracted. Over time, the use of cuneiform spread throughout the ancient Near East, and was adapted for use with other languages. Cuneiform inscriptions were sometimes carved onto stone monuments, such as the famous Babylonian Stele of Hammurabi.
Ancient Sumerian cities such as Uruk, Nippur, and Ur compiled some of the world’s earliest known libraries and archives, recording information such as land ownership and tax records in cuneiform on thousands of clay tablets. These small, palm-sized rectangular tablets were inexpensive and easy to produce in quantity. When the clay was moist, it was easy to impress cuneiform characters onto their surfaces – and even to correct mistakes. But once a record was complete, it could be baked in the sun until hard, and became quite permanent and durable. Officials who stored and managed collections of cuneiform tablets were among the first “information professionals.” In time, even literary and religious works were also recorded on cuneiform tablets, along with more mundane records.
This replica cuneiform tablet was purchased from the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia, which owns the original object. The tablet, containing medical prescriptions, was among many discovered during excavations carried out by the University at the site of Nippur (in modern Iraq) during the late nineteenth century.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI - DECEMBER 15, 2014
Employees assemble tablets at the Surtab factory in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Surtab, which was established in 2013 with funding from USAID, has been a huge boost to the technology sector in Haiti. The company has hired 65 employees so far—98 percent of whom are women—and provided them with three months of training and on-site instruction. Now, the skilled local workers are paid more than three times the minimum wage and given health benefits. Not only has Surtab empowered its workers, but its product is also improving the lives of Haitians. The tablets are produced for commercial sale, but they are also used in education, healthcare and agriculture, increasing efficiency in programs that seek to create a brighter future for Haiti.

Microsoft Surface RT Tablet Hanging Stand
This is an Windows RT Hanging Stand with optional keyboard hooks. The "Windows RT Hanging Stand" was originally designed for a treadmill but could probably be used of a lot of other things including attaching back of car seat for kids to watch movies in the car, or handing on a door.
The optional keyboard I used is an Anker Ultra Slim Mini Bluetooth 3.0 Wireless Keyboard for iPad Mini / iPad / Nexus 7 / Galaxy Tab and other Tablets (Works with Windows RT).
