I would love an iPad to give to my mom. Lately she has had a string of bad luck, and around the holidays it really sucks to have that happen. Just Saturday she pretty much almost got a heart attack because when she got home the house was full of smoke. She called the fire department and everything, but then they found out that the heaters pilot light was just getting too hot and wasn't shutting off, even when the heater was on. So now, she doesn't even have a working heater this winter. That same day at 3am or next morning, some drunk guy came banging at the windows with a knife. My brother was still playing games and awake so he ran to my mom and they called the cops. I wasn't there at the time, but apparently the guy attempted to stab the cops, but ended up cutting himself.
So yeah I would love to give my mom an iPad due to what has happened recently, just to cheer her up a little bit.
