for instance if you look on my ipad you know where i like to shop, because i have the amazon and Walmart apps.
and better yet, you can tell where i bank, what kind of games i'm into and what my hobbies might be, like working out, social media, religion, health, because there's an app for that.
but i want to talk about one app that really lets me put my personal touch onto my iPad, PIMP MY SCREEN. catchy name isn't it.
Now this app, lets your iPad have a little more class, and makes it look like book shelves or at least picture frames around your apps. It comes with a ton of backgrounds and premade screen looks, but it also gives you the option to use your own pictures, whether they are of your family, friends, etc or things you've saved off the internet as long as they are in your photos you can use them for your background or lock screen.
In a world full of iPad users you can still be you, there's an app for that.
I admit, the iPad is pretty cool. But I think it is kinda crazy that there is an app for absolutely everything. It's almost like the industry is molding the kind of person you become, based on what apps you get. You said it yourself, there is an app for you. I don't think I could ever buy an iPad for myself because I think it would have negative effects on me as a person. As an already relatively quiet/shy person, how would spending more time sitting in my room on my Walmart app improve my social skills? While there may be an app for that, I dont think there is anything as good as having a face to face conversation. I do think the technology behind the iPad is amazing, and the device itself is very cool. But I think there has to be a line drawn somewhere between spending time with electronic devices and interacting with real people.
