One of the best Inovation of all time 

Apple Tablet (Ipad)

 


iPad is a line of tablet computers designed, developed and marketed by Apple Inc., which run the iOS and iPadOS mobile operating systems. The first iPad was released on April 3, 2010; the most recent iPad models are the ninth-generation iPad, released on September 24, 2021; the sixth-generation iPad mini, released on September 24th, 2021; the fourth-generation iPad Air, released on October 23, 2020; and the third-generation 11-inch (280 mm) and fifth-generation 12.9-inch (330 mm) iPad pro, released on May 21, 2021 (different models and generations listed in the sidebar).

Recognition

The iPad was selected by Time magazine as one of the 50 Best Inventions of the Year 2010, while Popular chose it as the top gadget behind the overall "Best of What's New 2010" winner Groasis Waterboxx.

Market share

iPad tablets have a wide margin globally on second most used Android tablets. The market share, however, differs widely by regions; and the iPad has lost market share globally, every year since 2012 (when StatCounter started tracking tablets separately).

According to Stat Counter statistics, that tracks web use and gives operating system/platform share based on it, the iPad has lost majority of use in South America to Android, did also lose majority while gaining back in Asia and in Africa has lost by a wide margin, where Android is up to 70%.

Business

While the iPad is mostly used by consumers, it also has been taken up by business users. Within 90 days of its release, the iPad managed to penetrate 50% of Fortune 100 companies Some companies are adopting iPads in their business offices by distributing or making available iPads to employees. Examples of uses in the workplace include attorneys responding to clients, medical professionals accessing health records during patient exams, and managers approving employee requests.

A survey by Frost shows that iPad usage in office workplaces is linked to the goals of increased employee productivity, reduced paperwork, and increased revenue. The research firm estimates that "The mobile-office application market in North America may reach $6.85 billion in 2015, up from an estimated $1.76 billion [in 2010]."

Since March 2011, the US Federal aviation Administration (FAA) has approved the iPad for in-cockpit use to cut down on the paper consumption in several airlines In 2011, Alaska Airlines became the first airline to replace pilots' paper manuals with iPads, weighing 0.68 kg (1.5 lb) compared to 11 kg (24 lb) for the printed flight manuals. It hopes to have fewer back and muscle injuries More than a dozen airlines have followed suit, including United, which has distributed 11,000 iPads to cockpits Also, many airlines now offer their inflight magazine as a downloadable application for the iPad. 

Consumer usage

In the United States, fans attending Superbowl, the first Super Bowl since the iPad was released, could use an official National Football League(NFL) app to navigate Cowboys Stadium. In 2011, the Tampa bay became the first NFL club to discontinue the use of paper copies of playbooks, and instead distributed all players their playbook and videos in electronic format via an iPad 2.

The iPad is able to support many music creation applications in addition to the iTunes music playback software. These include sound samplers, guitar and voice effects processors, sequencers for synthesized sounds and sampled loops, virtual synthesizers and drum machines, theremin-style and other touch responsive instruments, drum pads and many more. Gorillaz's 2010 album, The Fall, was created almost exclusively using the iPad by Damon albaran while on tour with the band. The music video for Luna Seas 2012 single, "Rouges", was filmed entirely on an iPad.

The iPad has greatly increased Social televsion use. Viewers can use the iPad as a convenient second networked computer  for communicating with other viewers or with the television provider. Viewers can use a web browser or specialized applications to discuss a program with other viewers, while it is being broadcast, while content providers may use the second screen to interact with viewers in real time. For example, the latter facility allows content providers to conduct real-time polls or to collect comments about the program, that can be displayed as text on the main television screen. Viewer interaction via a second screen is becoming increasingly popular.

Bullying is an ongoing or repeated misuse of power in relationships, with the intention to cause deliberate (on purpose) psychological harm. Bullying behaviours can be verbal, physical or social. Bullying can happen anywhere – at home, online, with friends, in a group, on the bus or at school.   Reason for why people are often hesitant to make a complain.
