I had an older iPad. Early on, it was fast as could be, especially on the net.

After several "updates" it was completely useless.

This is the type of issue that I have noticed with numerous electronic devices in the past few years. The odd thing is earlier in digital electronics history when hardware advances were proportionally much greater the useful life of my devices were definitely longer. I had an “IBM Thinkpad” that I used for over ten years. The thing is still outwardly perfect. These days it seems like I am very lucky to get five years out of any device. They not only become intolerably slow... they actually start falling apart.
