iPad users, a question for you.
Since you've had yours, have you found yourself tapping and swiping your computer screen? Have you done in public like I did today? Do you do it, then look to see if anyone saw you? Have you grown frustrated because your damn monitor won't respond to your touch?

Steve Jobs has ruined my life.

1. No, I do something much more embarrassing
I find myself trying not to rub my finger on anything so I don't rub off my saved text/image. 'Cause it gets transferred to my finger, right.

Yeah.

3. And I thought I was weird
:) :)

Clinical Psychologist are going to have a field day studying our interactions with touch screen devices like smart phones and tablets. I find them more addictive than any computer.

2. Nope, but I've been obsessively cleaning smudges off its screen
I never realized how gooey and oily my daughter's fingers were until we bought the iPad.

4. The micro fiber cloth becomes your best friend.
Imagine the screen the day after Halloween.

5. I'm shuddering
It's got to be similar to what happens after the kid eats Doritos.
