A Person Or An Animal

Stephen Fry:
The iPad does perform tasks — it runs apps and has the calendar, e-mail, Web browsing, office productivity, audio, video and gaming capabilities you would expect of any such device — yet when I eventually got my hands on one, I discovered that one doesn't relate to it as a "tool"; the experience is closer to one's relationship with a person or an animal.
I also love this quote from Steve Jobs, in the same article:
"I don't think of my life as a career," he says. "I do stuff. I respond to stuff. That's not a career — it's a life!"
