Apple iPad MB292LL/A Tablet (16GB, Wifi)
Received a 32 GB model as a Father’s Day present. While I am not sure if the iPad will ignite a social revolution, as Howard Bloom does, or further diminish our ability to read for a sustained period of time, as does William Deresiewicz, the iPad is an absolutely remarkable mobile Web 2.0 device. Is it flawless? No. But give Steven Jobs credit as an intuitive psychologist, the man connected Web 2.0 and the potential of infinite app innovation with the fundamental human sense of the tactile and delivered it up to the masses. That’s Edisonian capitalism.
Shloky likes it too.
* Daemon refers to the novel by Daniel Suarez , where a renegade Ai program, “the Daemon” orchestrates and serves a darknet of human agents partly through the medium of augmented reality technology.
