A few days ago The Oregonian reported that the video of 99-year old Virginia Campbell has gone viral. Yes, Virginia is the oldest woman to use an Apple iPad and this warms hearts all over the world. Why not? According to one of her daughters, “It’s changed her life.”
Campbell, who graduated from Reed College in the early 1930s with a bachelor’s in English literature, has always been an avid reader. But she suffers from glaucoma, making it difficult to read.
Now she’s reading books on the iPad and writing limericks on it as well.
And this is a good tribute written by Ms. Campbell.
To this technology-ninny it’s clear
In my compromised 100th year,
That to read and to write
Are again within sight
Of this Apple iPad pioneer.
