Cumbersome

cum·​ber·​some

Cumbersome an adjective defined as “large or heavy and therefore difficult to carry or use; unwieldy” by Merriam-Webster dictionary. While reading “Our Love Affair With Digital Is Over” by David Sax the word cumbersome stood out. Mainly because it was an unfamiliar word. I had no idea what it meant. The sentence read “although more cumbersome and costly than its digital equivalents.” Using the context clues and the definitions I was finally able to comprehend what the word really meant. The author was portraying how board games are heavier and more difficult to carry, but they give a richer cultural experience that stays with you. Rather than just carry a blackberry and create your own community that build a more fictional aspect.
