Pictures say 1000 words, well here are some ways that the iPad is changing our worlds.

| Clarke Hopkins Clarke Idea Architects' iPad Library Wall Au |
From the proposed iPad Wall designed by Clarke Hopkins Clarke
Idea Architects to a school library lab and homes... the touchpad revolution with access to the internet is transforming the way we read, access information, and the mobility of the device - changing the way we "meet" to use it. The iPad is the mobile device but touch screens are everywhere - from the Hard Rock Cafe on Hollywood Blvd in LA that has touchscreen walls to entertain and teach about music history.

| German cars with mounted iPads |
( iPad Lab) at the Pinnacle Peak Elementary School in Scotsdale, Arizona, decorated much like the APPLE store model with white walls, single words of inspiration, and what I call, Pods of learning.
A sixth grader came up with the focus . See the broadcast at the KTVK link.
Mounts for the Ipad are available for homes, cars, and more. The iPad mount accessory by Modulur , Griffin's cabinet attachment, and ProClip USA to name a few. The cost of $70 can put an iPad in a convenient place that once the plasma screens were popular for. This list get longer as I have even seen a rear seat iPad mount for the German cars like the BMW "iPAD Out" mounts .
When an object becomes a frequent item in our every day life- it is no longer considered a luxury but a tool that does the job. That is what I see with the students in my classes who pick it up and explore without hesitation ( or awe) applying to their focus to the task it does. Just the way tech should be.
Ipads and other items from Apple are very popular and are evolving to be more than just music players
