Money, money and money.

Technology nowadays is revolving faster than ever. The release of iPd has drwn a lot of ttention all over the world. Apple being a very valued international brand yet has done it again. However, a funny picture has been spreading over the internet for the past few weeks. So far apple has released new gadgets about once every two years. When they release these gadgets they don't only release them once. With minor alterations they tend to add a number at the end calling some the 2nd generation, the 3rd generation and so on, encouraging consumers to purchase the latest model out there. This photo however, criticizes the iPad. People have stated that at this rate by 2012 Apple will release an iBoard, by 2014 an iMat. These functions do not vary much in technical sense, but just alterations of size.

Although the world had been drawn to the release of iPad with excitement, if we own an iPhone or an iPod touch, how much does it really differ? Is it worth all the costs? Owning an iPod Touch myself, the iPad didn't seem new to me at all. The functions were very similar, and having bought my iPod touch not long ago, I just couldn't see the point of buying an iPad, which has very similar functions to the gadget I already have. Some argue that producers are just infor it for our money. That they are constanly in the race to release new products and fooling us into buying new gadgetes every few months. How far are these people willing to go? What new inventions will emerge in the next few years? How are these people manipulating us to purchase new goods when the old ones work just fine?
