The Real Impact of Technology

GigaOM founder Om Malik gave his iPad 2 to his mother in India so she could FaceTime with her grandson:

"It didn't matter how it was happening - just that she could talk to her grandson who was oceans apart from her. If there ever was a moment that captured the emotion in a piece technology, that was it. The look on her face made me realize how lucky I am to write about an industry that makes such things possible. I also thought to myself, maybe somewhere Steve Jobs is smiling too."
