So obviously I am not the most up to date person on tech products but this caught my eye from a commercial. The new Apple IPad! This looks really interesting but is it better than a regular laptop?
The new IPad is due out in April of 2010. A touch screen laptop computer - are the buttons on the old fashion laptops to hard to push or what? Yes, it is following the touch screen IPhones that Apple produces but really? I had a touch screen phone and I must admit the novelty of it at first was really cool...but...after awhile it seemed not so great. Maybe that is a sign of getting old?
So on this you can pull up a keyboard and type like you normally would or you can take your finger and tap and drag. I wonder what the warranty on the touch screen is? One difference is, I believe that this will allow people to be interactive without having to type as much. Now to really tell my age, people already have spell check - thank God - so if they are typing less what does that say?
In a few more years we will probably have a computer that is linked to your brain so all you have to do is think. Progress is amazing but I think some of the old school skills need to be kept alive!
