I wasn’t the first kid on my block to have an iPad. I was the oldest kid. And it’s not been easy. I’ve had to struggle with admiring onlookers who profess jealousy that I have such a neat toy. And at times, it has been hard to find more than five or six hours of enjoyable daily activities to do on my iPad. But I’ve persevered and while I’ve just scratched the surface, it is clear that the iPad can be an invaluable tool for older users. As the first mass-market tablet computer, it will be followed in short order by competing tablets from many providers, mostly in the PC (as opposed to Apple) world. This will lower prices and increase features.
I do not own Apple stock and am not recommending the company. I am recommending its approach to providing easy access to online information. And I’m recommending that older consumers take a serious look at this tool. You may think the computer age has passed you by but the iPad makes a strong case that what’s passed you by is the high-tech "members only" phase of that age.
