To know and to serve God, of course, is why we're here, a clear truth, that, like the nose on your face, is near at hand and easily discernible but can make you dizzy if you try to focus on it hard. But a little faith will see you through.

I think I am being ignored because no one will give me an answer.
Jim. With all due respect, the iPad has been the subject of several threads over the past few years since Apple put it on the market. As much as you are on this forum it seems kind of odd that you have taken this long to ask. Also, you have access to Google, why don't you look it up for yourself?
Jim, the daughter got her father an ipad - it is a small tablet that is a computer. It is not cheap. As she is talking with her back to her dad, he uses it as a cutting board. She turns around and discovers that he has just ruined several hundred dollars.

O I suspect that Jim knows, he's just "toying" with us, stringing us along with his own "dry" sense of humour..... which is very "Australian" actually
CONFIRMED: i Pads do not like the dishwasher! They do not get along well. The dishwasher won!!!! House insurance does NOT cover the loss. BACK to the low tech cutting board.
It just seems like there are too many electronic gadgets, gizmos and contraptions coming at us every other day that I can't keep up with all the identification terms. I am not playing dumb or trying to be accepted as Australian. I see ads on the TV for such stuff that I have no inkling as to what they are all about. Thank you for your Christian consideration to an old codger.
Jim, you need to learn to go to www.google.com and type in your question, like "what is an ipad?" You'll receive an abundance of information and then be able to enjoy the exchanges without having to feel left out.

Jim,
I don't honestly think that anyone is trying to be unkind.
But when you post something like this:
I think that most of us naturally assume that you're joking... pulling our leg. In fact, if you look at that post, you'll see that people clicked the "laughing" button. I don't think they were laughing at you... I think they thought you were making a joke.
In addition to looking up things on Google, I think most people would be happy to take the time to explain something... but they don't want to waste their time typing a detailed post if you were just pulling their leg in the first place.
Since it appears as though you really did want an answer, I'll offer this:
An iPad is a type of computer that's called a tablet. Tablets are extremely portable, and look like the one picture in the video (that the man was using as a chopping board). With an iPad, you can read a book, or watch a movie, or type emails, or browse the web. The other day I went in a restaurant, and the hostess was using an iPad to manage the seating chart--she was taking names and cell phone #s, and the iPad was sending texts out when the tables were ready. In our local high school, every student in grades 9-11 recently received an iPad for use in the classroom and at home.
Grace and Peace,
Jon Twitchell

Thank y'all for all of your efforts to help an old codger craw into the 21st Century. No joking intended in this case. I referred to the football pads as that was the main type of pad with which I was familiar. Perhaps I should have used "notepad" instead from what I gather from your helpful discriptions.
Esther now has a "smartboard" since the renovation of her school building and is expected to use it but there has been no effort on the part of the district to offer the least training in how it is used. I have tried to use the one in the room where I teach my community ed. courses but can't get it to work. Yet one of her new colleagues this year has a Masters degree in Smartboard.
No, when I ask a question about the technology that the rest of you are so familiar with I am being serious because I am in awe and wonder.

You assume, Hal, that I know whether Google is a verb or a noun. I have noticed the term popup but I am not sure to what it refers.
Google is both, Mr Franklin. Over at the seemingly most popular/used search engine, it is such a visited place that its name has become synonymous with what is done there. So, you go to http://www.google.com and "google" whatever it is you need to know.
Have you really never been to google.com!?
Gotta try it ... and soon!

Are you saying that Naznet is the only website you can access and you don't know how to find Google or any other web search tool? Please don't play the "old geezer card", I know several people in your generation, and older, who can find their way around the internet just fine.
It is considered a verb in certain situations and is tied to the search engine www.google.com. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_(verb)
"Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek."
Gina, at the side of my posts I am identified as Jim Franklin, so where does this Mr. come from or is it that you are trying to be extra courteous to and elderly person?
Since I notice that the last four letters stand for a naughty, do the Ten Commandments and the Nazarene Manual allow one to Google or do you have to get a special dispensation to do so.
No, google is not related to (go)OGLE. Come on, just go google something and tell us about it.

Now to figure out how one googles.
It will be worth the effort.
Jim, we already told you: google.com in the address space.
ETA: then google.com has a space to write in what you want to know.
