Смысл: The author argues that the iPad, like the microwave oven before it, is a disruptive technology that succeeds not by being a 'better' version of existing tools (PC/Smartphone), but by creating a entirely new class of usage and accessibility.
The iPad is compared to the microwave oven, illustrating how a device can become indispensable by creating a new usage category rather than simply improving upon existing tools.
Смысл: The main idea is that the iPad's significance lies not in its specs, but in its ability to democratize technology by eliminating the unnecessary complexity that has long kept ordinary people dependent on technical experts.
The backlash against the iPad reflects a fear of a future where technology is so simple that it removes the gatekeeping power of tech experts.
