The iPad is magical?
- larsberg 16y agoIndeed. And seemingly animate as well, since it "is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices." Would've thought that was the folks making and using them, but hey, I'm not the one wearing the turtlenecks. (And yes, I own an iPad. But probably not the one that is going around defining things. Other than words. With a dictionary app.)
- apl 16y agoIt's an absolutely acceptable use of the verb "define." There's nothing about it that requires an animate subject.
- brudgers 16y agoTo the same degree that the other statements are accurate.
- andreyf 16y agoYes, for at least one definition of magical: beautiful or delightful in such a way as to seem removed from everyday life.
- chc 16y agoA lot of people do have that reaction to it, yes.
- jonhendry 16y agoPeople using them with their autistic or otherwise-disabled kids seem to think the iPad is as close to magical as you're likely to find in the real world.
