Peter Bregman of Harvard Business Review says he returned his iPad because, essentially, it’s too doggone good at doing what it does. I can see that. You’ve got the iPad and all of a sudden you can watch, read, whatever as fast as blazes. It’s all there, and it’s all easy to get to when you get the urge.
So I’m bought in. But there’s only one problem here: every device we’ve added to our lives, from laptops to the current crop of exceptional mobile devices – all of which Apple has made exceptionally easy to access and use – does this. It’s really up to us to device where, when and how much we let this devices intervene.
I guess he’s saying the iPad’s basically his version of crack. At the same time, I’d hate to see anyone forego the efficiency advances these awesome devices create in sacrifice of the time they actually give back.
