I'm more disturbed by the fascination that we as a species have with gadgets. I think that was a totally-chill-but-perhaps-not-especially-saintly thing for Stev

  The iPad was a true innovation when it was released and even more so 3 months prior to its release. To be able to experience a new invention so far before everyone else on that planet is a special experience. At least, I'd see it that way were I in her friend's shoes.

    I'm obviously a bit simple if I'm willing to admit it - but I still feel like I'm in the future when I pull the iPad out the bookcase/bag/couch crack. It's a computer, its only a few mm thick, and its now!

      There aren't many things that make me think I'm in the future, but the first time I saw an iPhone it was like a Star Trek device.

  > I'm more disturbed by the fascination that we as a species have with gadgets. It has always been this way. Humans like physical objects. Maybe your particular love is art. My Grandmother's was salt and pepper shakers. Some people love bikes. Things with motion or reactions tend to grab more attention. Computers were amazing in this regard. The iPad and other touch tablets really blow the doors off. Sit down and talk to a car or motorcycle guy/girl about the time they got it working when no one thought they could.... I'm actually quite happy with it. It drives those people to build better things or use them in ways others haven't thought of. It drives us. // these days, Steve Jobs's response is probably the best I could do, anything added would just sound wrong
