This article makes the interesting statement that “the iPad is not the future of computing, it is the replacement of computing.”
The article is actually “The Failure of Empathy.” In it, the author says about the iPad, “It’s the thing many people will get INSTEAD of a laptop.”
He seems to have struck a nerve, he has 128 comments. Most of them support his hypothesis. The Geeks of the world have had their time as the computer users. Next the rest of the world get their turn. What do you think?

Note that some may find some of the commenters language objectionable.
