Turned upside down. Is the Ipad a sign of the fall of civilization?

I watched a documentary tonight about Dorian Paskowitz and his family. One quote by him particularly rang true.

“In early times man fought to save himself from hunger. Today we fight to be hungry”

As designers and creators of today’s consumer marketplace we have to ask ourselves, “What do people really want.” I cannot help but remember what Alex Bogusky once said to me, “why don’t you go low res? I’m sick of hi res.”

Yesterday, Apple premiered the IPad. Today, the press is declaring it a flop.

Is it being panned because people want to prove that they are still hungry?
