This is a cute read, and as others have stated, it's well-written for a 14 year old. The idea that the iPad is opening up more people to technology than other products though is quite naive. It might get the most press, fan-fair, and attention with an exclusive event to debut it every year, but that doesn't make it any friendlier to non-tech-savvy users than its competitors. Has the author even touched another tablet-like device on the market? The iPad might be "open" in the sense that it is making technology accessible to regular users. But more "open" than the rest? That's the product of good marketing. Sure, the device itself has to stand on its own, but so do its competitors. The media loves to give Apple plenty of attention, and combined with aggressive advertisement its products are now household names.
