My greatest fear about the iPad, confirmed.

It’s getting late on a Friday evening, but instead of switching off after a long week, I’m reading emails, checking forums about work related stuff and drafting blog posts.

The family’s asleep, and the cat’s curled up in front of the fire, but instead of switching off and enjoying a glass of red in front of the TV, I’m cradling this insidiously piece of technology that’s become the most convenient means to keep me constantly connected.

Yep, my greatest fear has come to fruition. Constant connection.

The iPad has made browsing the web as informal as picking up a magazine. It’s displaced other relaxation mediums by being so damn accessible.

Damn you iPad.

    Now if I only had one, I’m sure I’d have to agree with you.

    I must say, it would help right now because I wouldn’t be sitting here watching TV on this ridiculous angle, but then again I do think it would demand waay too much of my attention.

    Apple should be up on a some form of biological warfare charge for producing this man-made virus.

    Congratulations, you are now a “carrier” of Apple’s new virus. :)

    Your lucky that it took the iPad to make you succumb to the malady, I’ve been suffering from it since I got my MacPro.
