An Update on my Parent's App Usage

There are two things my parents are now comfortable using the iPad for:
  1. getting directions to places, by typing in the street address, using the built-in Maps app;
  2. reading email, usually with photos attached, which were sent by family members.
The iPad has definitely replaced the Pearly map-book for finding places. They also rely less on me to be the intermediary who used to receive the emails with photos which I would then load onto my laptop to show them.

They have not sent an email yet.
