Oh yes, the day has come and gone but it still feels so very good! I have waited quite sometime for Apple to unveil the no longer mythical iPad! I just got done watching the keynote presentation and yes, Apple will probably be funneling more money out of my pocket in a few months.
Laptops are easy for travel, they are convenient, productive and pretty much lightweight (if you have a MAC). But honestly, whenever I find myself out with my laptop, very rarely am I doing anything besides surfing the net, listening to music or browsing through photos so the full power of my laptop is not needed at that time. I love my iPhone but looking at photos can sometimes be a little disappointing just because of the miniature size, browsing the web is upsetting for the same reason.
The perfect device to enjoy these features is the iPad. I have been in the market for an E-Reader for the past few months but found the Kindle® slightly unappealing and along comes the iPad!
We all know that I am a tech baby and a proud tech baby! I can appreciate the feel of an actual book, I can appreciate the visual appeal of a physical bookshelf... but thousands of books at the palm of my hand?! I can't resist. In my never-ending quest to become more green, this is another great opportunity! No longer do I have to contribute to the waste of paper for book manufacturing AND the books are fairly less expensive in digital format.
Looking over all of the blogs today I saw nothing but complaints, the iPad was either not what was expected or was exactly what was expected and people were disappointed. My answer to that is DON'T BUY ONE! Shut the fuc* up and let the rest of us "idiots" enjoy it. The same goes out to people like my dad who are so disappointed that Laser Disc and VHS are no longer around. You can feel free to continue watching your movies on VHS (good luck in the next few years getting newer titles, if that time hasn't already come) and I'll stick to my BluRay HD movies.
I think there are things that we can all appreciate about the past but this is the present and your medium is D E A D so move on. Whoppers from Burger King don't taste the same as they used to but you don't see me complaining do you? I just don't eat them anymore. Pepsi and Coke don't taste the same anymore, so I limit my intake. Sitcoms aren't as funny as they used to be so I don't watch them anymore and I think you get the point. We move on and embrace new technology while keeping a healthy memory of what was. Technology will move along, with or without you.
