Those are great examples. Regular PCs are like giving people drum kits because it satisfies all the "requirements".
The iPad is like giving you maracas, a tambourine, or bongo drums. Same functionality? No. Vastly more fun for beginners? Yes.
- leviathant 17y agoI realize we're stretching the analogy thin, but maracas, bongos, and tambourines can all be had for $3-$20 each.
- kalid 17y agoVery true, but are we considering cost or usability?
- davidedicillo 17y agoNo, the iPad are maracas, that can transform themselves in a tambourine, or bongo drums, or in a scientific calculator, or in document editor, or in 500,000 other things.
- mkeblx 17y agoWhoa, I didn't know there were 500,000 apps in the app store. I would posit that there aren't even that many potentially different apps that are possible, even considering monkeys on typewriters with an infinite amount of time.
