Imagine

Eddie Smith (on his Practically Efficient site) has a great perspective on how it's not about the iPad: 

The next time you watch a child use an iPad, think about what your knowledge-based toys looked like when you were their age.

The iPad is their slide rule; their typewriter; their Commodore 64. As great as the iPad is, it’s more mind blowing to imagine what will soon deprecate it.

This had me thinking from the moment I read it. It's an easy enough game to guess at what will come next. The real exercise is to see and understand the technological advancement from commodore 64 to iPad and then try and imagine what another such advancement will bring us. Words fail me quite literally.
