My parents bought an iPad this Christmas. I took the time to help them get it set up and was amazed to see how they reacted to it. Here are some things that I learned from parents while observing them with an iPad.
- It’s computer not a tablet. (My dad calls it a computer, tablet is completely foreign concept).
-
Cloud storage is really confusing if the only thing you have known as storage is 3.5” discs and CD-ROMS.
-
The FOX News iPad app is horribly designed, yet it will be main source of news for my dad.
-
Multiple email accounts for different people on the same iPad can be confusing.
-
They don’t understand why there is an app designed for the iPad and that same app is does not have a desktop version.
Keep in mind my parents are very intelligent people, however it was interesting to see them to interact with this new technology.
