Why was I so excited to see the launch of the ipad? I have been looking forward to technology that would allow me to view my digital scrapbooks without having to print my final pages. I have been dreaming about a product where I can sit with my digital “scrapbook” in my lap and view all of my albums! No more shelf space and heavy books, I want to just select the “album” I want to view. This will be so helpful for trips to grandma’s where  ALL my albums are in one slim and contained piece of technology.

From what I can tell, the ipad will be able to do just that. I can have separate albums (scrapbooks) with my pages  loaded in order. I can zoom in and out and view my page as vivid as I created it! I will be able to easily edit my pages and reload them at anytime, unlike traditional scrapbooking where it is costly to remake or reprint an entire page.

Not only can I use this technology for my newly created digital pages, but also my scanned scrapbooks from the past. I will be able to integrate my old and new library into one thin hand held piece of technology! (check the storage capacity as there are 3 sizes of ipads)
