I read the story “Technology for the 21st century: part two (is it a literary machine?) that is about how the iPad is more of an entertainment machine then a literary machine. This article is about the author David Warlick stating that an iPad is good to look at and fun to use but is it really made for educational purposes also? Warlick asks the question “What is the iPad really great at — best at” and he says it’s a great machine to watch. I agree, I don’t think the iPad was made for educational purposes I think it was made just as another money making machine from apple. this means when people buy an iPad to use as a educational piece they get ripped off. I agree that the iPad is a lot of fun to use and play with but that’s all it was made for. Sure it can go on the internet and search for the links you want; sure you can download books on to it, but what cant now days? I can do all of that stuff on my CRICKET phone! I think that it was just made for money purposes and for entertainment purposes to play apps and blog on a cooler version of a laptop. I agree definitely with David Warlick saying this machine is fun to play with but it does not have a lot of educational purposes, the device was made for money making purposes.
