This is yet just another obligatory review of the iPad. I’m sure there are thousands of unboxing videos, app reviews, and fanboy videos out there. So why bother with yet another review? This is about how one Apple, or rather technology fanatic has completely drank the kool-aid and joined the consumerism bandwagon.
My home has an Apple Airport Extreme wifi base station networking several devices:
- Lexmark Wireless printer/copier/scanner
- Work computer with second monitor
- MacBook Air
- MacBook Pro
- iPhone
- iPad
- Tivo
- Two external hard drives
Steve Jobs sold us the laptop and then a mobile phone. That wasn’t enough. He wanted more. He wanted to manufacture demand for a third product, the iPad.
A tweet today by Erica Douglass really
Wouldn’t we all be better off if we learned how to invest our money instead of mindlessly spending it on overpriced consumer gadgets?
That really hit the spot. She is right, we’ve all gotten on this bandwagon to buy, buy, buy. We all would have been wealthier had we instead in Apple instead of buying Apple products.
