Perhaps something that is innate for my generation has skipped me, but I constantly find myself baffled and frustrated at how rapidly the technology around me changes. It is so insane how things stay current for a year, at best, before they seem so outdated. There always seems to be new devices or upgrades for things once I finally understand them. I always feel behind the pack.
This utter distaste for technology really came into full force with the worlds newest innovation, the iPad. Everywhere I look I see ads for the iPad and everywhere I am I hear about the iPad. The iPad is gearing up to take over the world. It is incredibly interactive, it is internet ready, can read books, be an iPod, can make Skype phone calls and can do so many more things that I couldn't even begin to imagine. It seems as though it is gunning for the laptops current role as portable computer and is trying to take down the purpose of the Kindle before I could even decide if I wanted one, or actually understand all of what it does.
As amazing as it all sounds, the iPad just seems like another unnecessary thing I can't afford and don't have the time to utilize, or understand. I think technology, at least in the consumer sense, should slow down and let me try to catch up.
Your opening sentence is a little convoluted. Tighten it up; punch it up.
