IPAD와 생활의 혁명

 

The next big thing? The lines are already formed. It goes on sale in the morning. Question is, can you live without it? Apple’s iPad. Some say this game changer will be life changing. From CBS News world headquarters in New York. The Internet has revolutionized the way we live. Newspapers and magazines, movies and TV shows, all became more accessible than ever. Now Apple says its iPad will start a new revolution by putting it all at your fingertips. So will it be the future or a failure? John Blackstone has tonight’s eye on technology.

 

Like it or not, there is no way to ignore the iPad from the cover of news magazines to the late night comedians. “Here we go. Number 10. What the hell is it?" That remains the question a day before it goes on sale. What exactly does it do? "You can shield your eyes from the sun and just look how quickly it makes delicious salsa." What it does perhaps is change everything.

 

"The iPad is like the Beatles of 2010. It takes something that we thought we knew that makes it seem fresh." Steven Levy of Wire Magazine says the brilliance of the iPad is that it makes the computer disappear. "You don't think computer when you use it. You just do the task you want to do." Want to read a book? The iPad becomes a book. Want to read a newspaper? The iPad becomes a newspaper. It can be a game board or a movie screen with the touch of a finger.

 

The appeal매력 of that has already been noted by other computer makers who are now rushing to get their own tablet computers to market just the way Apple's iPhone started a flood of other smart phones, the ipad will do the same. “To use language that would have been in the original tablet, for more this, this to get this that the iPhone really created this demand for smart phone that use the touch screen and use your fingers to control them.”

 

It may be what Apple has been working towards for decades. In the beginning, computers were complicated. You almost needed a programmer's skill to make them work. Then along came Apple with machines that seemed designed for anybody to use. In some remarkable video from 1981, a bearded Steve Jobs tells a skeptical CBS News correspondent why the computer he's built will catch on유행하다. "It's just going to be very gradual and very human and will seduce유혹하다 you into learning how to use it."

 

Jobs was right. We've learned how to use computers and now he's selling one that doesn't seem to be a computer at all. And that may lead to things we can’t even guess yet. "The thing about technology is that the most exciting applications are probably the ones that nobody has yet imagined. Technology opens up the doors for creativity." For all the hype광고, it's what happens here at the store that counts while there's certain to be a crowd here tomorrow. The response to the iPad in the weeks and months ahead is what will determine whether it changes the face of computing.
