An ipad made in the US would probably cost $3000 dollars...at least. I remember seeing the US-made equivalent of the iphone last year. The cost of labor would have made the device unaffordable for all but the wealthy. Instead, virtually anyone can purchase. These union-loving socialists are a primary driver in shifting manufacturing and other jobs out of the US. The ever increasing costs of labor, regulations, and political graft is a major driver in costs.

Borders close stores and renders Barnes & Noble obsolete

You mean the same stores that hide books written by conservatives? Good riddance.

Jackson said that the practical aspect of the iPad made Borders close stores and renders Barnes & Noble obsolete.

100 years ago, geniuses like the Reverend Jackson were castigating Henry Ford for putting all of those buggy whip manufacturers out of business.

In some ways, jesse jr. has stumbled upon the truth. The iPad, in our services organization, will ultimately lead to us getting rid of two departments -

Why? because prior to the iPad, we could get an ROI on giving laptops into part-time workers hands, so they faxed in everything creating double-entry. Now, with the iPad at 500-600, we can get the technology ROI in a short period of time AND eliminate all of the fax/double data-entry processes. Plus it gets rid of QA.

Will I am no Fan of Jessie Jr.

Jr might be on to something here at least the dumbing down of America.

No Matter where you go seems half the population Man, Women, Children must have a cell phone glued to their ear or Texting someone. In the Car, Shopping, Eating, Bathroom.

What can be so important that you spend your entire meal on the phone while your setting with your family at the restaurant. Or in the Restroom do your business then call them back. Gee-sh

They are becoming the center of the American culture and we don't seem to be able to live without them.

Jesse is partially right. The Internet that was invented by Al Gore has resulted in Millions of jobs leaving the USA as computers have made it possible for hard working citizens of the world to compete for jobs with US companies.

Our US companies have moved their jobs overseas to avoid Unionization, Taxation, EPA, OSHA, DOL and many other government organiztions that drive up the cost of doing business in the USA. Sad thing when American is not a nation of TAKERS and not workers. We have far too many folks living on the handouts and that is a result of people like Jesse Jackson JR and SR.

Yes the Ipad has helped to create the possibilities of people in other parts of the world doing the jobs that were once American.

Welcome to Obummer’s world.

But there is no protection from job killing Libtards, with their excessive regulations, high energy costs, and punishing taxation, for jobs here in America to ensure that the American people are being put to work.”

Minor edit for you there Jesse. Hope you don’t mind.

Jackson argued that the freshman class of Chicago State University in his district is not even using textbooks. Instead, they’re all given iPads. Jackson inquired as to the fate of publishing companies, bookstores, librarians and the paper industry in general. He suggested that these jobs will soon no longer exist but judging by Mister Jackson’s perception of the culprit, we’re somehow confident he’s more worried for the rolling paper industry.

Jesse no longer a Algore disciple. Forget going paperless to save forests ... Jesse denies global warming.
