Some time ago I gave my dad an iMac, the beautiful white model with a cake base. He seemed excited: he wanted to know how to use it as a typewriter, you had to explain how a spreadsheet (but I could never really explain what good is a spreadsheet), was interested in iPhoto, which I intended to use as a replacement of the prints pictures of the granddaughter, but never too successful.
the end, the thing he liked most was insert the CD, probably because it was the thing that most closely approximates the experience of using the DVD player, the one tool that was intuitive, unlike the computer. The end you have guessed quell'iMac lying unused for a long time.
Today my father has used my iPad, the same one that I'm writing this post. He loved the experience of browsing the photographs, it was fun to beat a broom, and when at last he began to speak in dialect with the cat's Talkin Tom exclaimed, "the hip Vori Mj chel rob people."
I did not have to talk about log-in, windows, menus, applications. All intuitive even to his experience.
I think Steve Jobs has seen far away.
