As I looked through Ben's blog to see which topic I most wanted to respond to, I noticed that he had picked the Apple iPad as the current business topic he wanted to discuss. Personally, I just became aware that such a thing existed as I met with my group for a management project a few weeks ago. The men in my group seemed absolutely overjoyed at the prospect of Apple releasing this new "miracle product". I expected Ben's blog post to hold the same little-boy-on-Christmas-morning feel.
What I found instead, was a surprisingly refreshing perspective. Perhaps I felt it was so refreshing because he agreed with many of my personal thoughts on the iPad. As I had it explained to me by men in my group, the iPad is, "like an iPhone but the size of a piece of paper!" This was all stated with much enthusiasm, but to me I wondered who in the world would want to tote something like that around when they could have the convenience of something as small as the iPhone. I vocalized this thought and then was met with a dreamy look as they began to discuss the potential of the iPad in the future; how it could virtually make textbooks obsolete. If that is what potential the iPad holds, I think that is fantastic—just don’t try to sell me one until it has reached that caliber of greatness.
