A new way of thinking about computing...

The note below by Student D is extremely insightful.  "D" has a point that the iPad is creating new ways of computing and the linkage between applications is something we became accustomed to by doing things like copying a graph from excel and placing it in word, but there is something unique about the experience with the iPad.  In some ways it challenges our conventional thinking but in others it brings clarity.  I wish I could explain this in a more direct way but I think it will become more salient to me as the semester progresses.
