A desert island and my Ipad
by gbsmith4
I’m beginning to think that all I really need if stranded on an island is my Ipad. I get up in the morning and read all my newspapers on the Ipad. If the site doesn’t have an app, it always has a website.
Check email? Ipad.
Read twitter? Ipad
Play Word w/Friends with my daughters? Ipad
Read books? Ipad (I will rarely even order a book now if I can’t get it electronically.)
Newest addition? Just about all my magazines via the Zinio app on Ipad.
Last minute check of market stuff for TV (usually while I’m in the studio chair)? Ipad.
Peruse all my favorite websites via Google Reader? Ipad.
Catch up on TV I missed (via Netflix)? Ipad.
And this from a person who thought the entire idea was a big zero!

See now Gary, you do have more than 1 good friend. Unless, of course, you were counting your iPad as your only good friend.
I bought my wife an iPad. Mistake. She now spends ALL her spare time with her nose in her iPad, and has zero time for me. I lost my best friend … to an iPad.
I’m not quite at that point, but I will admit Nancy does love her Ipad.
I am still trying to figure out if the i-pad actually makes us all more productive. Any thoughts?
Well, it does allow me to work wherever I want. Of course, you could argue a laptop did also. But, the Ipad is just a bit more portable. So, I carry it everywhere and I guess that makes me somewhat more productive….
