Suggesting uses for the iPad, one panelist said you could download the menu at a restaurant and read it on the screen instead of picking up the actual menu and reading it; another suggested taking it to the movies and watching a BETTER movie on the iPad than was playing in the theater. An excited iPad owner admitted that there was really nothing she could do on her new device that she could not do on the devices she already owned. I once read the text of a sermon delivered back in the 1930s that said the central problem of mankind (that word had not yet been discredited) is "improved means to an unimproved end." That good old 1.0 operating system has done, and continues to do, some pretty amazing things.
