99 year old women gets her first computer – an iPad

You’ve seen the videos of children clamouring to iPads with kids games while Mom or Dad looks on in amazement. You’ve seen the video of the Cat playing with an iPad, but have you seen the video of the 99 year old women who was given an iPad for her first computer?

There’s a nice lesson in usability here. It seems like she was able to pick the iPad and use it fairly quickly. Isn’t that what computers should be? A great equalizer.

I hope Apple‘s PR team is paying attention. The one YouTube video alone could be a huge boon for the company. The iPad, “Where the learning curve is zero point zero seconds.”

Well, I'm pretty much addicted to all things Apple, and Twitter. That's probably all you really need to know. If I'm not posting here, I'm probably wasting time on Twitter.
