The TV, no, but it is entirely possible that the iPad is being used for internet access. At this point in time a person without internet access is at a serious disadvantage to the larger population.
- S4M 12y agoHow about buying second hand computers or laptops?
- JetSpiegel 12y agoThe amount of computers just thrown away should be enough.
- tgb 12y agoIt would take about 11 weeks of payments to save up for the ipad to get one from eBay instead ($230 on ebay for 2nd gen 32gb model, 19 dollars a month for 72 weeks from buddy's). I wouldn't want to do without the internet for that long, but if they cancelled their internet for a month (which they wouldn't need without the ipad in this hypothetical) they'd be able to buy in maybe 2 months. Is two months of having to use the internet from the library really worth spending $1000 on when you can't even afford a $230 ipad? Sorry, but there are other options.
- notahacker 12y agoWhat proportion of Buddy's customers need home internet access via a second hand iPad2 immediately (ultimate cost $1400) as opposed to internet access via second-hand Android tablet (cost <$100) after waiting a month? I'd be surprised if it was double digits.
