Departure point: What iPads Did To My Family – Chuck’s Blog.
I’m a gadget guy. I occasionally feel oppressed by how many I have, and I cherish the gadget that can replace multiple other gadgets – such as my iPhone, f’rinstance, which for me pretty much replaced:
- Cell phone
- PDA or Pocket Calendar
- iPod
- E-Book reader
- Notebook computer (if just e-mail monitoring is needed)
But if a guy as tech-savvy as Chuck Hollis, with his tech-savvy family, can buy an iPad as a toy and then find his whole tech-savvy family waiting turns to use it, then I may have to regress, eventually, to iPhone and iPad instead of just iPhone.
Or maybe I could finally figure out how to use Skype?
