Hooked on the tech

I am totally dependent on this seemingly unnecessary piece of technology. I have fully integrated it in my life to the point that without it I feel like I would be at a loss. i have come to engage the internet almost solely through this iPad. My 3,000 dollar Macbook Pro has become hardly more than a typewriter and I use it less than I used to.
That being said I find myself frustrated with my iPad more than seems appropriate. I have an incredibly dysfunctional relationship with this device where I constantly find myself lamenting its numerous deficiencies and yet I cannot stop trying to make it work for me. I think that the problem lies in the fact that I sense the potential that is present in this type of technology. I see how this sort of interface could revolutionize education, reading, writing, travel, and change the entire way we engage the digital world. Unfortunately, I constantly feel hindered by the reality of the device. This is not entirely the iPad's fault. I have no doubt that my expectations and desires far exceed what is currently available in terms of technology, but it still is hard to see the future without being able to fully engage it.
I have, as of late, been fascinated and fixated on the digital world we are currently engaged in. There is a bizarre and unbelievably awesome amount of technology and applications being introduced to the world right now. It has become possible to interact with the world more fully through the use of electronic devices than "real" reality offers. Virtual reality or augmented reality offer greater depth to our every day lives than we can naturally encounter. How long will it really be before reality un-augmented becomes the outlier?
I am fixated and fully invested in the ipecac and its potential. I am at a point where I have become committed to the point that I will undoubtedly buy the next iteration because it has become so much a part of how I work. I look forward to, and hope for the future of this device and others like it. I see a new order and a new way of engaging the world. i just wish that this potential and idea was fully realized and implemented.
