An 'Open Letter' to Mr Steve Jobs

In New York City during my school's Easter Break, I, an avid Apple fan decided to get an iPad. There is no justifiable reason I needed one; yes, my 4 year old MacBook is barely useable, but I would have been much better served in that regard simply getting a new laptop. I have a 32GB iPod Touch, so my app cravings are easily satiated.

What compelled me to spend 700$ on a device I don't need? Perhaps the famed Reality Distortion Field, perhaps the excitement of waiting on line overnight at the Apple Store side by side with fellow Apple cult members. Maybe even a certain degree of iLust. Answer? None of the above. In all my 14 years of existence, I and many others have come to expect something magical inside those iconic white boxes. And thats exactly what I got. All of the above was typed at 37,000 feet, on my iPad.

Thank you Mr. Jobs
