I believe my dad had tough time learning computers.He never got familiar with the mouse and its clicks or the keyboard operation.He always got confused with Shift,Alt,Ctrl keys in the keyboard.Not only my dad,all my uncles and aunts have difficult time operating the computers.Nowadays all the banks and government offices in India started using computers and most of the seniors found it very difficult to operate.I myself had real tough time teaching computer to my aunt who is working in school.Everyday she will come with Email/Word assignment which I used to do :-)
My hubby suggested him to buy iPad.He showed him how its easy to browse,read books in iPad.No keyboard or mouse.No CPU’s.No ShutDown or Start concepts.You touch the screen and it will operate for you.
There he goes buying iPad for himself…..

Now he sends mails, watches videos and listens to music.He has started browsing the internet and slowly started understanding the computer world.I strongly recommend it for people who think that they can not understand computer operation, especially seniors.
It has a large and bright display screen which makes it easy to operate.
An excellent e-book software where you can add books and manage your own library.
Easy to browse the net,sending emails and watching videos.
Super fast speed and sensitive response.
Steve jobs has definitely tried to bridge the gap between the computer and old people.Thanks to him.
“I’m the coolest gadget in the world Unofficial account” is Bio of iPad on Twitter.I believe its very true :-)
