Technology

Technology has played an important role in our lives. It has helped us improve a lot in how we do our daily chores, starting from household ones. Modern technology has brought us to multi-functional devices such as smartwatches and smartphones, such as iPad and iPhones. IPad has created a new niche between mobile phones and laptops/desktops. As a result, it has changed how we do our work. Before the iPads, there had never been another convergence product that changed as many products as this did. Many people can do what they do with mobile phones and what they need computers for with iPad. IPad relieved the tablet of the accusations of just being a big smartphone. Their introduction into the market enabled people to buy a tablet. Most of the tablet brands that existed before the iPad did not address some of the needs that those who passed it used wanted to use them for. Before the iPad was introduced, the existing tablets could not connect to a PC. In addition, their battery life was short, making it difficult to use them away from home. The "new tablets" has a long battery life, and they are connectable with PCs, hence addressing the challenges that existed in that niche.

Many people store their personal and confidential information on their mobile phones in the current world. In addition to this, our gadgets offer company, since we spend a lot of time on them. IPads addressed all these issues. Their introduction benefitted its uses with the iCloud, which provided unlimited space for storage. It also made it easier for people to retrieve information from other phones that they previously used. ICloud offers unlimited storage space, which is not available on other devices. Also, its big-screen helped people easily play games on them, leading to more phone games. Despite the other models of iPhone being able to play these games, their small screens made it difficult for their users to enjoy them.

IPads was a great improvement of our lives even from how it was designed. It is designed so that it offers its users convenience that they may not get from their mobile phones or their computers. It is portable, and it can perform the duties of a computer; hence it allows its users to watch TV shows and carry out other tasks that they would maybe need a laptop to do while on transit. Therefore, it led to the introduction of new forms of media and the advancement of the already existing ones. IPad makes it easy to take notes, especially with the apple pencil. It also reduces the burden of carrying a laptop, which most people consider bulky.

iPhones were not left behind in impacting our lives as humankind. One of the greatest features that they came up with is the lack of the physical button that most of the blackberries used to have. Most people associated with it as its weaknesses, but those that knew what they wanted to purchase it in large numbers. Other features such as the high typing speed instead of the existing blackberries marketed it. In addition to this, it also had sound recognition features, which allowed the users to say what they wanted to type and then recognize it and bring results.
