Apple releasing a tablet what the heck?

180px-Steve_Jobs_WWDC07[1] Like many of my other Tech analyst friends, I agree when they say…. What the heck is Apple thinking of releasing a proprietary tablet computer? I mean…. we got the Laptop, the Desktop, the Netbook, and the Smartphone… We got so many screens and chargers we are losing our minds. Do we really need another screen? What problems will this device answer?
Well let me take you back to the Fall of 2001. We already have a couple of MP3 players on the market, which are these ugly bricks with spinning hard disks that supposed to carry 1000 songs with you. In addition, my tech friends and I say “WTF?” Why would anyone ever want to carry 1000 songs in their pocket or car. I mean….we already have a Walkman CD player, we got a 5 Disc CD changer in the car, we got RealPlayer streaming our music. We are surrounded by music... So this iPod brick?? Why would anyone want this device? Steve on stage states that this “iPod” is the answer to our problem! That our problem is that we do not have enough entertainment with us everywhere we go. My friends and I thought that this was Apple failing moment. Apple is going down…. It is crazy to create an answer to a problem that does not exist. However, that man is got to be some kind of Alien master, because 10 years later…. People carry an iPod everywhere and the iPod has already created an entire industry and blew the doors out in the music industry.
We again laughed at Apple creating a phone glued together with an iPod for $600 3 years ago!! Yet we all want an iPhone now or carry one?
So now I think….We are all laughing and scoffing at this crazy Apple Tablet. Steve Jobs will again state that is the answer to our problem. Nevertheless, just maybe, we just do not know what the question is yet.

Add'ness and lack of reflection

Thinking about it today. I came to realize that my inherent ADDness does not only come genetically passed down. Or created due to my repetitive 20 year work as an IT professional, but it is what creative intellectuals do to cope with the inherent lack of creative challenges. There are those who create and those who consume. I fortunately or unfortunately am the creative type and sometimes my work does provide a challenge that requires my creative thinking, but most often than not it only offers repetitive mundane yaks that must be stamped out. So in the meantime the brain creates problems or attention getters that really do not need attention at all, like keeping up with the news or Facebook. These are subconsciously implanted as tasks to be completed to make the brain perceive that it has more to do than what is really present. Over time this becomes the nor and things like this be one the norm at home too. You try to sit patiently and listen through your Childs story and you catch y

Productive Day

Enjoying a productive day studying business communications and Human Relationship Management. Sat at Scooter's Coffee and really enjoyed the atmospehere, although the lack of the famous Totty coffee. Had a wonderful family lunch with my kids and wife eating Tropical Smoothy Cafe food. Decided to be a good son and water my mother's garden. As I turned on the hose I worried a little about the water consumption regulations, but I was quicly at ease at looking at how long there poor plants had gone without water, and watered away. The ADD'ness of the NET is wearing off more now and learning to read at least 3 pages without checking gmail and facebook!! Reading books is such a cool concept, I am sad that the Internet multitasking overloadingness is slowly training people to consume at max speed and not enjoy content. Less can me much more gratifiying than more.....
