Does this mean a specific type of adult, or adults who use iPads? Cause…I consider myself pretty technically gifted, I’m a software developer, previously worked IT…and I love my iPad (for the things it’s good for).
I like the size and heft of the ipad - I never sit at a desk with a computer anymore outside of work, and feel like I thoroughly earned the right to that. But as a productivity device it feels like a straitjacket.
Love my iPad for making art with Procreate, reading, playing media, as a universal remote for home automation, games, showing photos to friends, looking up stuff of the internet, reading, for DJing.
There are no messengers, calendars, or communication apps configured on it. So there are no notifications.
I sometimes try it for productivity, but run into limitations quickly. It’s okay for editing a document for a bit, but managing files is already torture.
Not OP but I suspect they mean adults that struggle with normal technology but thrive on ipads (can remember the button they use to open sodoku)
Nothing at all wrong with making technology easy to use for the masses, but this can create problems.
