I’m going to talk about an iPad that I bought a few years back.
In my third year at university, I received an amount of grant for good academic performance, which was worth about 700 dollars. I had been curious about the iPad because I had never had a chance to use one. So I decided, quite impulsively, that I would buy one.
I imagined there would be so many things that I could do with this device, like writing homework, reading books, chatting with friends and playing games. But later I found out that it wasn’t as convenient as I thought. Though already quite small in size, it is still too heavy to carry for a long time. And it can’t replace a computer as it doesn’t have a real keyboard.
Once the novelty wore off, I just left my iPad sitting around. In hindsight, that 700 dollars should have been spent on a course or something like that!
