There has been a lot of buzz about Apple's new iPad. I read this article on business week that posed the question of whether or not the iPad would threaten PC sales. Personallyy I don't think that the iPad will threaten PC's by any means. There is always going to be that group of people who go out and buy the next big thing, but those are the people who are buying the itouch, macbook pro....the iPod touch sales are in more trouble than PC sales.

The article I read below suggests that design is timeless. Whether designers embrace growing technology or resort to simpler things, either way works with design. Design can be made in all forms. With technology constantly growing and changing, it enables us with more opportunities and benefits us to think more creatively. At the same time, we can always go back to simple things for inspiration. Very interesting idea.
