The BEST Article I’ve Read On the iPad. This guy gets it. This article describes precisely why I’m so excited about this device, and not at all bothered by it’s few shortcomings.

Because it’s really not about the device, it’s about the massive paradigm shift that needs to happen in the miry world of computers. Honestly, I hate computers. And yes, that is profoundly ironic considering that I make my living looking at them all day long. But it’s true. I like making things with computers. I like the Internet and the incredibleness of it all. But although I know more than most people I know, about the mechanics of computers, I really truly dislike those very mechanics.

I can’t wait to get an iPad so I can never use a computer for non-“work” related things again. Internet, communication, media, entertainment, personal info and “handiness”—all of these things that we use “work machines” for now, will feel so much less “computery” on a device that you hold and touch and pass around. And if that is the future, at least as it relates to computers, and I sincerely hope it is, then I can’t wait.
