Will the iPad put Print Mags Under?

Technology just keeps taking over the world. Apple recently created a new device, the iPad which allows you to experience the web, emails, photos, and videos by just using the touch of a finger.  Who would’ve thought that all these everyday tasks could be so simple to do so fast? Now we don’t have to worry about being noisy with the clicking of our laptop keys while were waiting for the plane to take off.  Talk about the perfect travelling gizmo! This extraordinary device only weighs 1.5 pounds and is 0.5 inches thin, making it easy to carry around everywhere.  It’s rare to think that such a small object could hold so many things.  A great feature about the iPad is that it has up to 10 hrs of battery life. This means that you can sit back and relax with watching a movie on a long flight without having interruptions of the battery dying.

The big question is what will happen to magazines? Will this new device destroy the magazine business?  Apple didn’t include e-reader software in the iPad which means that a magazine can’t be read cover to cover by this device just yet. This would start a huge problem if Apple decides to implement the software.  You can in fact visit web pages of magazines so there is a preview of what a magazine would look like digitally. No one can deny how awesome the graphics are on this so now it’s all a matter of time for Apple to expand on this new piece of technology further.  Talk about losing more jobs! This will just make matters worse for the awful job market that’s out there if this goes through.  The ongoing upgrades of iPods were a huge success which could promote Apple to do the same thing with the iPad.  Let’s hope that Apple doesn’t jump too fast this time to upgrading the iPad. 

 

Now what will this do for the older generations? We all know that not all of the “older” people of our society are that technologically equipped. Most of them are still use to going to a newsstand and picking up a paper version of a magazine or newspaper. This is too old fashioned for today’s world.   Unfortunately, sooner than later our world will be completely paperless. Let’s get advanced!
