Look, I have a laptop, a netbook, an iTouch, and an iPad. They all do something different for me. They are fucking tools. You are not your tools. Only idiots and writers on deadlines make up shit like in that Wired piece. I'm amazed that if I sit at a cafe with an iPad because I want to read a book and maybe answer a few emails and check my twitter I am suddenly "wealthy, well-educated, power-hungry, over-achieving, sophisticated, unkind and non-altruistic".
However, if I pack up my iPad and pull out my netbook because I want to polish up some web code? Suddenly I am a "self-directed young person who look down on conformity."
Amazing.
What bullshit. They're all computers. Get fucking used to it.
You aren't your job. You aren't whatever stupid device you are using to do whatever stupid thing your doing.
The iPad is a very very cool machine. Is it "revolutionary"? Nope. Well maybe in terms of UI. Maybe. And it's a great travel machine if the only work you're doing is email and some short copy editing. But it is a great "companion machine".
