iPad Tech Tools

The iPad is the most innovative tech tool since the invention of the laptop. It is an excellent technological advancement that may one day replace the laptop for the traveling businessman. What makes the iPad so much more desirable from a laptop or other similar technologies is that it is more useful than just work. It has a plethora of apps that can help any person, business, or working individual stay collaborated, productive and organized with the rest of the world in a tablet thinner then your average college-ruled notebook. 

So picture this: busy dad on the go wakes up in the morning and grabs his iPad. On his way to work while sitting on the bus, checking e-mail while standing and drinking his coffee, multitasking between e-mails and clients. To catch up on current events before heading into the office, he goes into the newsstand app and checks out the latest news (no more need for magazine subscriptions). With 20 minutes to spare, he checks into his Flipboard app to do some last minute editing for his 9:30am meeting. Once the meeting is done he needs to prepare for his speech he must present for a few clients. Noticing that he has the speech at 11:30 and another at 1:00 he has limited time to get lunch. So he goes onto his Urbanspoon app and picks a random spot and has it delivered to his office. After a long day at work he comes home to screaming kids. What better then a bunch of fun cool games for them to play to calm them down?

There is a lot of convenience behind the iPad and there are unlimited amounts of capabilities that could be done to make life easier for your typical working mom or dad to just a 12 year old boy who wants to use it for fun and games. I see it becoming ever so popular among companies and as we can see ourselves, right in front of us! Our own Montclair State University considered it to be a great educational tool and I do see how it is very comfortable as opposed to carrying a bulky laptop along with books. I was most shocked when it was introduced into my workplace; since we are a manufacturing plant and technology such as an iPad is not something I would see as a necessity there. It is currently in an introduction phase and only intended for top management, but if successful, may be brought out for departmental use.
