Το iPad είναι το μέλλον!

The cultural gabbers knew their "unboxing" was an epic fail. But they didn't seem to realize that the conversation about the tablet that ensued was an even bigger failure. They accepted as fact the false idea that the iPad is for content consumption only, and spent the remaining 20 minutes or so talking about whether a device useful exclusively for creating content is OK. One gabber talked about how people need to write e-mails and other things, adding, "I just don't think people are going to give that up."

Slate employs some of the most brilliant journalists working today. Where did they hear that using an iPad means giving up e-mail? They didn't. It's wishful thinking.

Does the tone of all this sound familiar? This is exactly the kind of irrational, knee-jerk opposition that greets all democratizing new forms of content creation.

When blogs first hit, professional journalists slammed the medium as dumbed down proof of the coming idiocracy. But now nearly all journalists and news publications have blogs. TV news commentators first laughed at Twitter as a place where people only broadcast the minutia of their daily lives. Now CNN has entire shows built around Twitter.

It's important to understand who these people are. They're the same kind of people who said automobiles are just a fad, who said nobody wants to hear movie actors talk, who said graphical computing isn't real computing. They believe themselves to be enlightened skeptics. In fact, they're just the kind of people that always come out of the woodwork when something breathtakingly new emerges. They can't see -- refuse to see -- the obvious possibilities in the new because it threatens their advantages in the old.

Το παραπάνω άρθρο απλά περιγράφει αυτούς που αποκαλώ εγώ σαν πρόβατα ή τους "ειδικούς" της πληροφορικής.

Εννοείται ότι το iPad είναι το μέλλον της πληροφορικής και θα κάψει πολλές καρδιές και μυαλά εκεί έξω. ΕΥΤΥΧΩΣ!

Όχι άλλο κάρβουνο τύπου Windows. Μαυρίσαμε τα πάντα με το κάρβουνο των Windows.

Σημείωση ότι όλα τα αρνητικά που ακούγονται για το iPad είναι τα ίδια και τα ίδια που ακούμε χρόνια τώρα για το Mac, το iPod, το iPhone, κλπ. Για την ακρίβεια οτιδήποτε δεν έχει σχέση με την Micro$oft = Άχρηστο. Δυστυχώς για τους "ειδικούς" που από μόνοι τους βγάζουν τα μάτια τους και χρόνο με το χρόνο όλο και περισσότερος κόσμος πηδάει από τον Τιτανικό που λέγεται Micro$oft.

Περαστικά τους.
