iPads not laptops..!
Robert Clements
Thursday, May 17, 2012 - It was the most delightful news I’d heard in awhile. I was told that in a particular state our respected, revered and reputable elected representatives had demanded the government give them free iPads instead of laptops to use. Knowing the whole world needed to know how we as a nation had advanced from pencils and chalk, from counting with fingers and toes, to actually using iPads in our legislatures, I decided to meet an elected representative, somewhere in his capital. He was playing a game of ping-pong with his six year old son.
“That is a strange bat you are using sir?” I said. “It is a laptop, and because of that my son is winning all the games. I have already told the government that we need iPads!” “iPads are very useful sir!” “Yes with an iPad I could have smashed the ball across the table and beaten that little rascal, but with this heavy laptop, how am I expected to win? Everybody including that Anna Hazare is saying we politicians are losers, but now you see why we are losing?”
“You definitely need an iPad sir!” “Yes, please write it in your paper!” “Are there other uses you will put your iPad to sir?” “Of course! An iPad would be useful in the rains next month. I hate to get my gelled hair wet, then my bald patch is seen, but with an iPad….” “You will be able to protect your head!” I completed for him.
“Also it is a good fan, array bhai when we sit for some outdoor meetings and the punkah is not working, then an iPad is the best thing no? But the government cannot understand, they want to give us laptops, can you imagine fanning yourself with a laptop?” “I will certainly write about your need in my paper sir!” “Even my wife wants a laptop!” “Your wife? Why?” “To serve water, juice, tea, coffee for my guests. It is very difficult carrying tea, coffee water, juice on a laptop, have you tried?” “No sir, but I am sure an iPad would be a better option!” “You must write good article okay! You know spelling of iPad no?” “I think so sir!” “It is EYE Pad! Arrey my son has beaten me again, what to do without an iPad..!”
