My iPad

 So I’ve had my iPad Pro since 2021. It’s 5 years old going on 6. Over the years I like to think that I’ve gotten fairly decent at using it. I have some useful apps on my iPad that use and I of course use it to web browse. 

I use LumaFusion and iMovie to edit videos. I use Photomator to edit photos and Safari to web browse. I also use my iPad to read USA Today and watch YouTube. I even create my thumbnails for my YouTube videos on my iPad. Can my iPad replace my MacBook? I’d have to say I’d bet it could. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE using my MacBook. If you read my blog or watch my YouTube videos then you’ll know that I just purchased a MacBook Neo but I don’t do anything on it that my iPad couldn’t do. My iPad is my go to device. 

An iPad can easily replace a camera and MacBook for shooting and editing video. You can record the video with your iPad camera and edit the video on LumaFusion or iMovie. iPads even have Final Cut Pro now. I can easily write up blog posts on Pages and upload them to my blogger account. All of my school websites have always worked on my iPad also. So could an iPad replace my laptop, absolutely. 

Todays kids are given Chromebooks or iPads for school purposes. Most kids also have a smartphone in their pockets and if they are using an iPhone then they know how to use an iPad. If those are the facts then most kids don’t know how to use a computer. They are using their phones and tablets for their everyday devices. I’d say that todays kids are smarter than I am at using an iPad. I still have trouble navigating the files app. So if todays kids are using their smart devices more and more then one day those famous words on the Apple add could be reality. “What’s a computer?”
