The iPad Pro (Late 2018)

If you don't know by now, this is what the new iPad looks like. They have successfully shrined the bezels, upgraded the touch interface and significantly boosted the processing power of this device making it a truly useful device finally. This device has allowed me to access top tier creative software (procreate, video editing, 3d modeling) almost anywhere I can take it, making it a true artist's companion. What you see above however, is just the most current version to date.

Before came the Apple Newton and others like it, these are all examples of " pen computing" which refers to using a computer using a stylus, touchscreen or tablet as a means of input. This has been around for many years dating back to 1888 when the first patent for a device that was used for handwriting was granted. Since then there have been many advancements with this technology that give us the iPad today.


The future is very bright when looking at what this technology can become. I think that holograms that we are able to interact with in real time will be the next big change. This would allow for people to see what their creations may look like without having to use resources to create many prototypes before the final version. It is not a question of whether or not it will happen, but when it will be available on a large scale.
