My Experience With My iPad

How am my liking my iPad? I love it! I use it for practically anything. For instance, right now I’m using Dragon Dictation to make this blog post.

Dragon Dictation lets you pretty much dictate any kind of paragraph, any kind of information, and add punctuation, give direction as you see fit, to have letters, e-mails, lists, and a texts written for you. You can then copy and paste the text as you see fit for any application on your iPad.

What I did not expect is that the application for dictation is exceptionally accurate when considering how much time this saves in writing copy, or messaging, or blog posting; this alone is a major timesaver, and a powerful tool for a free application at that!

Dragon Dictation is not the only application that is changing my workflow, and my personal time of recreation. The WordPress application keeps me up with my latest blog posts, comments, page changes, and the like. I have a clock stylized like the 1970s flip clock radios to wake me up every morning. I have books that I can read with my the Barnes & Noble the e-reader and iBooks at my leisure in the evenings….

And this is just the beginning. With more practice I know I’ll become faster with such a device. This will revolutionize my computing time to the point that I do most everything mobilly–from picture taking, editing, recording videos on the go of family events….

I think back to the earliest days I interacted with computer technology. My dad and mom got us a Mac in 1992. It was our first computer and I had never known anything like it. Floppy drives made it interesting. ClarisWorks was the word processor for Macs of the era. Games were of the like of Super Munchers. I never imagined anything that could be this good this soon in my life. My little girl who is not even two is already familiar with the iPad. She can read storybooks play kids games better educational that I would’ve never dreamed up by the time I was 10 or 12.

Perhaps the way this is changed my life the most is with the Bible applications on the iPad–that are free alone–are some of the best study tools I have come across in the past decade. I would not want to be without them again. I can’t imagine where this could be taken for the future with better study tools, maps, and educational videos, and the like. Seriously, I’m beginning to understand the games understand how Apple could say something like the iPad is “magical.” While it’s still doesn’t bring it while it’s still doesn’t toy rabbit out of a hat it sure as heck does many other useful things for me in a manner which I never imagined would come about this early in life thanks to technology.

I want to give my special thanks to Apple for revolutionizing my workflow, productivity, and leisure. I hope the future is filled with more such great devices to come.

This entire blog post was written with Dragon Dictation. It wasn’t the easiest thing I did today, sure, but I know it will get easier. I will let you know how it goes.
