Yummy content consumption...

Took my iPad, uPad on a quick road trip to visit The Berklee School of Music in Boston with my son, Leo, who's looking at colleges, and then on to New Hampshire to drop him off at his summer music program. The whole family used the thing to check our email on the go, and to find a restaurant in the town where we spent the night... then, while having an after-dinner ice cream, we got into a conversation about the definition of 'Fascism' (yes, I could explain, but it doesn't seem germane to the topic of this blog), and we used it to get some answers. Back at the hotel, I did a little reading on it, and later, when Bill and I went to sleep, Leo played around on it before turning in. The next morning, we were singing along to some songs Leo was playing on the guitar, and we used it to get lyrics for our impromptu little family hootenanny. As no content creation was called for, the iPad, uPad was a simply delightful addition to our trip. I note, however, that I could have done all of the above on my iTouch, albeit on that tiny screen, except for the reading, for which the iTouch is simply tooo small.
