Ipad is just an amazing invention. I always thought Ipad is just a waste, I use to say it’s just a bigger version of the Ipod touch. Well I was wrong, my perspective of it changed when I first touched that piece of device. That device has so many features it is just incredible. It got the needs of people into one machine. It helped people to use less money for more features in their life.
As referred in the Wall Street Journal, the Ipad has benefited the children that have communication problems. For example the WSJ has interviewed the mom of a two-year-old daughter who has speech problems. She now uses a software application that is purchased for $190 that says the words that the little child picks the pictures. The mom mentioned in the story that she is proud of her daughter and that she is happy she doesn’t have to fight so she could prove to people how smart her daughter is.
The problem with these programs that are made for the Ipad is that they are getting other companies in trouble. According to the WSJ other companies who use to specialize in these fields and use to make millions of dollars are now being interfered by the Ipad and its software. As mentioned in the WSJ specialized speech devices are sold from $2,500 to $15,00. In other hand you could just purchase the software for the ipad, which is $190.
