Okay, Okay. Maybe the iPad Is Magical, After All….

Many years ago, while sitting at the bar of one of my favorite watering holes in Chicago, a group of conventioneers came staggering in to the place. This was obviously not the first place they had visited and were on a roll. The group surrounded me in an effort to get a drink at the bar and after being served, included me in their conversation. The group was made up of software programmers, hardware guys, and I don’t know the titles of the rest of them. One rather attractive, and well endowed lady leaned into me and started telling me all the things she could do with a computer. I was fascinated. Maybe not so much by what she could make a computer do, but by her confidence in what she could do with a computer. This article says the same thing. These people can use an iPad to make sophisticated video, that’s exciting, but why would you want to? Someone like me, who uses a computer to make my life a little easier, certainly isn’t going to be able to do what these guys have accomplished on a glorified ereader.

Don’t downplay something simply due to YOUR shortcomings.
