New IPAD 2 Review

My New IPAD 2.

As you all know Apple, Inc. made almost 10 Billion dollars with the first generation of IPAD.
People got crazy for the IPAD.
They wanted the IPAD.
They bought the IPAD.
The experienced the IPAD.
They named their kids after the IPAD -

I'll admit that I wanted one. I wanted to hold it in my hands and touch it. I wanted to smell it with my nose. I wanted to peer into its high resolution display and do stuff. But I didn't get one... I'm not an early adopter.

So out comes the new IPAD2 with its thinnerness and lighterness and 1080p output and dual cameras and apps. Its a whole new kind of deal Apple says. It will help you to live your life more fully they say. It will help you in a crisis, or in love, or in Madagascar they say. Think of the kids. Think of the elderly. Think of the scientists and the doctors and the parents and the pets?

Here is my beef. I'm a big Apple fan by-the-way. I was one of the first people to turn a Macintosh into an aquarium. But to me the IPAD2 doesn't go far enough. In fact I cannot foresee a time when it will ever go far enough. Technology as a whole is not advanced enough for me. I'd like to hold these designers, developers, and programmers to a higher standard.

So here is my list of non-negotiable attributes for the next "game changing" technology.

1. It should not have a screen, buttons, input device, battery, cords, or speakers. This device should be about the size and taste of an Altoids breath freshener and you should be able to ingest it. I should be able to go to a very nicely designed vending machine, swipe my card, pay my $100, and get a mint sized computer.

2. The computer should "drive" its way into the mind and then park itself on the shoulder of one of my synaptic super-highways. It should set the emergency brake, pull out the awning of the 1966 Airstream Overlander styled hard drive, start cooking up some bratwurst, and get to work. And I should be able to smell the bratwurst.

3. After ingesting said device I should never be aware that there is anything happening. I should never think about using any of the apps, or the cameras, or the other junk. I should be able to do all of those things in my mind and it will seem as if I'm doing them myself. It should seem like I've been bionically manipulated without all the government intervention or the mechanical side effects.

4. That's it. I will not be buying any more technology items until this is achieved.

So keep on trying Apple. Steve Jobs - you may be the most progressive business/technology/design thinker to have ever lived but your a little bit behind here.

The future is bright.
The potential technology is brighter.
Let's go together.
