I went 2 buy a new iPad and got back in touch with society & humanity [via technology]


Went 2 buy an iPad at my local Apple Store. At first I thought 'that is stupid, I already have an iPhone and a Macbook Pro', but then I realized I could be part of something special if I purchased an iPad.

Waited in line over night. Had 2 make sure I got 1. Brought my Macbook so I could watch youtube videos all nite. really bonded with these techbros, like I finally met people who lived in the same world that I live in.

Apple Store employees were super helpful. Kinda were 'ass holes' since Apple products are so intuitive + easy to use, so they were kinda condescending when I asked how stuff worked.

There was so much buzz in the store.

So easy, even a granny can use it. 'There's an app 4 menopause.'

So easy, even a tween can use it.

Wish I could go back in time and be the 'ass hole kid' who tried to tell my teacher that using an iPad was better than using a piece of paper. Then I would distract every1 since I would watch youtube videos all day, and my iPad would be banned from the class room.

(feel sad that schools are telling kids they can't use laptops + computers in class any more)

Such a long line. Glad I waited overnight. I even brought my son, and he rode his tricycle into the store.

Apple Store employees are the best. They don't just 'know' the product--they truly love it. (A lot of people work there since they can't get jobs with their worthless degrees, and their parents think it is a real job, not just the same as 'working retail.')

Feel relieved that I went to a real Apple Store to really experience the excitement of the iPad launch, instead of going to the Apple station in a Best Buy. Those 'ass hole Geek Squadders' don't know shit about how to preserve the Apple brand. They don't know how 2 make me feel special about what I am buying.

Me feeling special. Miss the days when my white wayfarers matched my white iBook.

Driving home in my BMW, browsing the internet, checking iPad friendly websites

I know u think this picture makes it seem like I have too many Apple products because I only browse the internet, but u don't understand how these integrate into my on-the-go lifestyle. We live in a world where we must stay connected.

Wonder if it is still alt / functional to have a Macbook Air. Wonder the iPad makes it 'the most irrelevant Apple Laptop in the history of Steve Jobs.'

This bro is me. This bro with an iPad.

One day, I will show my kids my wedding photos. I will show them my college + high school graduation photos. I will show them photos on the day that they shot out of their mother's womb. I will show them photographs of the first day I got my Apple products--the day the iPad came out of the womb of a factory in an AZN country.

Is the iPad the second coming of God / Jesus Christ?
Are iPads for ass holes?
Are iPads 'a huge ripoff'?
If u were stuck on a desert island, would u rather have a Macbook Pro, an iPhone, or an iPad?
Should I put my Macbook Air on eBay?
Are Apple Store employees 'ass holes', 'helpful' or 'self-righteous, disgruntled liberal arts grads'?
If u work at an Apple Store, r u an important part of society, or are they the modern Best Buy / Circuit City employee?
Will the iPad change ur life?
will the iPad save humanity by helping us 2 connect?
Has Apple 'jumped the shark' or have they made a beautiful product?
Do u wish u had an iPad when u were a tween?
