In this ever-changing world of technology, new advances have prevailed in surprising me again, but this time in an unexpected way. When the iPad came out, my occasional Luddite opinions surfaced and I was skeptical of the need of such a device. However, if it really is true that iPad users are using them more during prime time for the purpose of reading, I might have to change my opinion. The tides of the world may be experiencing a retroactive swell that might replace sitting in front of the TV with reading more books. And according to my father, even Elder Perry--an apostle of the Lord--is utilizing the iPad in order to read his scriptures. Hopefully, this new technology will draw us away from the tube and more into our imaginations.
iPad reading could cut into TV's time
That's great news that iPads are stealing people's attention away from television! Along with the readers, I'm excited to see how the imagination of the authors will increase. There are so many clever opportunities in creating books for the iPad and other touch devices.
ReplyDeleteWhat about cutting into video game time??????
ReplyDeleteActually, iPads probably facilitate video game use, but most older people don't play video games anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you classify as older persons??
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I'd say older people consist of those in the generation before me.
