Do you really know how to use an iPad?

An iPad is a versatile touch screen computer device with built-in computer functionality which links you to a vast network of resources. It is easy to learn the basics but without training it will take some time to master completely. There are a range of iPad devices available including iPad 2, iPad with Retina display, and the new iPad mini. So, what can I do with my iPad? It may be quicker to list what you can't do, but here are some things to consider. Surfing the web is an obvious one and you'll find Safari already installed and ready to go. You can read eBooks as well as accessing newspaper and magazine content, which certainly saves on paper. Mobile gaming is available with augmented reality games now possible on an iPad 2.The iPad allows you to simply touch apps on the screen to run them. On-screen keyboard is available or you can connect to an external keyboard via Bluetooth. The device comes with standard apps and you can go to the App store and search for more and install them in seconds. If you are a musician then you can run digital instruments and create your own songs using Garage Band, which comes as a default app. Your iPad is also your photo album for storing thousands of pics. It's your own recipe book for the kitchen, just don't use it as a chopping board! You can hook it up to your TV or stereo and can also connect online to stream TV via Netflix or Hulu Plus. Family entertainment with parental control might save your sanity on long journeys, with your kids occupied in the back seat watching their favorite movies.A variety of productivity apps make business a breeze and the voice activated Siri is your own built-in personal assistant. You can use it as a computer replacement for email, documents, internet, hit your Facebook page, and also use iCloud to securely backup your data. An iPad can be a second monitor, a video camera, you can even video conference using FaceTime. So how do I use my iPad? It's easy to learn some basics, but you could spend hours, days, or even weeks without learning to optimise your iPad. Time is money and if you want to optimise both then learn to properly customise from the start. Learn how to organise your calendars, maintain your contacts properly, understand Wi-Fi connectivity, Hot Spot setup and networking. Camera, video and photos need to be properly organised, as does your music. Your background setup and sound are important and Bluetooth connectivity should be understood when you need it. You want fast and efficient messaging, and with so many apps available you need to manage them properly. With an iPad in your hands a world of opportunities is only limited by your own imagination. So be trained to optimise your iPad use and then explore what you can do with your iPad.
 Don't look back look forward, because an iPad is the future.
