With such "historic" implementation of the latest, strangest piece of technology, Steve Jobs (aka God) has released the iPad. Just two months young, this little guy has already made quite an impact. Although a siting of the "Pad" is rare and far between
(almost like a celeb siting like Justin Bieber or Beyonce), it seems like there is some trouble brewing. After being constantly bombarded with the fear that the iPad will soon take over all forms of communication (newspapers, magazines, LIFE), it seems we have some constant technological collaboration to watch out for in the future. As Apple grows, more mediums of artforms, science and everything we can think of will slowly coexist on the same level taking away the concept of reading a hardcover classic or painting with chalk on the sidewalk. The iPad attempts to cover every spectrum of culture where the world is literally at our bleeding fingertips.
If it wasn't Apple, it would be someone else.
But ironically, Steve Jobs is calling the shots. The world is at a convergence and it's hard for me to say what will happen. We'll let Wired Magazine take care of that.
How the Tablet Will Change the World
Still, with all of its faults, its scary to think of one media conglomerate covering the way and exactly what we are reading. Is the future of electronic paper really ahead of us? Will Apple be able to out-do themselves or will there be some catastrophic Google takeover that ends in a bloody war of commerce, politics, and everyday life? We may never know.
