The New iPAD

The iPAD is the newest technology that is going to come out April 3rd. Many people are excited about it basically because it can do everything an iPod touch can. You can type, send e-mails, look at pictures, and read books. People have been comparing it to the Kindle which can only read books. People like it because of its sleek and modern design. My question is will it work? The iPod had plenty of problems when it first came out. For example, the battery on most iPods did not last very long and it would freeze sometimes. I would wait to get one.

This is a huge example of convergence technology not only because it is the iPod but bigger but because it has all of the gadgets of a computer. The fact that it is basically a computer but its a touch screen. People have not seen anything like this before. he sheer fact that a person can type, read a book or magazine, and look a pictures in one device clearly shows how much of a developed and technological world this has become. At the beginning of this decade, people never imagined something like this. And now not only is it real but we can take it home and use it in our daily lives. It makes me think what else will happen in the next ten years. The iPad will not only change our present lives but also the future as well.

Many people will probably say the iPad is stupid or pointless which is what people thought about the iPod touch and people that the iPod was weird and dumb when it first came out. But look around, go to schools, look on the subways and buses almost everyone you see has an iPod. I think it might take time for the iPad to mainstream but it took time for the iPod and the iPod touch to mainstream as well. We will not know how it activates until April 3rd.
