iPad for the non-computer user

I think the iPad will be great for people who can’t seem to grasp computers. Think about your grandparents, your parents, or maybe that person who keeps on getting viruses on their PC. The iPad does the things they want to do, but without the need of knowing how to make the darn thing work when it becomes broken.

I suppose you could argue that they need a computer to sync it and manage content, but I have an iPhone that I can go months without syncing (I know, shame on me). Most of the content I deal with is accessed on the web (contacts, email, news, fun, even video). Do I really need to sync it with a computer all the time? I think not.

So help your grandparents get an iPad. Plug it into your computer and configure it for them so that they don’t have to. Hand it over and let them play.

Now they can check email, view photos and video of you, and play The Moron Test instead of being one.
