This is less of a post and more of a musing.
Today I moved into the digital world further by getting an iPad. To be fair, I didn't buy it. It was a rather lovely gift. I hold my hands up and say that I have never had an iPhone. It was also years before I got an iPod - classic Cotton family, we got the cheaper version - A Creative Zen.
My first phone was one of those sagem brick numbers -looked a bit like a silver kidney bean with a fat aerial. You had to hold each key down to move between letters. Thought I was the bees knees when I got my mitts on a Nokia 7210. 3210? Pfft.
The point is, I am now surrounded by technology. I am writing this on the iPad, I am watching BBC iPlayer on my laptop and my phone is flashing up with Facebook notifications and emails. My old flatmate would be proud. To him, I am simply The Blonde Girl in the room next door who thinks her computer is broken when actually it simply isn't plugged in.
And to him I say this.
1. I have an iPad (and you don't need to plug that in)
2. At least my hair is considered blonde and not rich mouse
But actually, so far it is all a bit overwhelming. In the setup of this fabulous machine, I was asked to answer a series of questions. I think the reason that Apple is so successful is because they have literally stuck the letter i in front of everything they possibly can.
iAgreed to all the iCloud, iPod, iTunes malarkey but when all's said and done iJustdon'thaveacluehowtousean iPad yet.
