Ipad

When I was in the U.S., I mentioned to Dave that I was thinking of buying an Ipad. He asked whether or not everyone in Iceland knew about them, and I said I had no idea what people in Iceland knew or did not know about Ipads. Which is in some sense correct, I have myself not seen any Icelandic advertisements for Ipads. But on the other hand, I did notice a bit of buzz around when the Ipads were first announced, so I suppose I could have just as easily said to him that I was sure everyone knew all about them. Just because none of my relatives have told me over coffee that they plan to buy one does not necessarily mean that I could not surmise Icelandic interest in the availability of this product. Instead I just said that living in Keflavík, I am a bit out of the loop as to what is going on in the city. Dave just said he figured people in Iceland had to know about it.

In retrospect, I feel a bit silly for having painted both myself as such a country bumpkin, when instead I could have acted very much on the cutting edge, in the know. Something about being in California, and being asked to speak for all of Iceland, made me shy.

I plan to buy and Ipad when I go to the States in January though. One of the people at Saga Club said it was terribly helpful in the classroom; there is some add on that allows one to link notes from the Ipad into a projector, so the whole class can see what the teacher is writing, without them having to turn their back on the class to write on the blackboard. Sounds very cool. See, now I want to be all techno savvy....
