Step 1, Description: The item is about 6 inches from top to bottom and is nearly a quarter inch thick. It weighs less than a pound and fits comfortably in the palm of my hand. It is metal on the back, in a shiny gold color, with small buttons on the sides. The front is encased in white metal, with what looks to be a screen in the middle of the front. The screen is 5.5 inches across. There are small holes on the bottom of the item, indicative of a speaker. The gold back piece feels slick; the front black screen feels waxy. The object seems to conduct heat when being held, however is cool to the touch when left sitting out for a moment.
Step 2, Induction: Based solely on the slick gold piece of metal covering the back of the item, I would assume this object is meant to be held when used. Judging by the hand-held size of the item, I presume is meant for personal technological use. It seems to be coated in such a way to prevent sliding out of a grip. The screen on the item indicates that it is used to view various things, such as videos, playlists, or emails. I presume the speaker on the bottom is used to hear music or videos when they are playing off the object.
Step 3, Speculation: After examination, I think this item is used as a personal computer of sorts. The speakers would be very effective in viewing videos, or listening to music. It would be easy to tote, as the design is small enough to fit in pockets, purses, or a small compartment in a vehicle. I speculate the item is used for ease of access to internet, or connection to friends and family. It appears to be an ease-of-access object for all users, with various technological needs.
