I would like to win an iPad because...
I'm the greatest grandson that ever was
I'm bright and funny with a touch class
But really I'm just a pain in the ass.

I would like to win an iPad because it would be so much easier to keep in regular contact with my two wonderful grandchildren. I live in Ireland and they live in Warwickshire.

I would like to win an ipad because
It would make me uber cool
It would entertain the grandkids when they come home from school.
I've seen them use their gadgets, they could teach me a thing or two!
But they struggle on my old PC, I could do with something new!

I would like to win an iPad because it would give me some 'street cred' with my techie family.

I would like to win an ipad because it would be a useful tool to help me develop and promote an interest in the benefits of technology amongst my three young grandchildren.

I would love to win an iPad because I only have a desk top computer and it would be good to be able to use something when out and about. I do not want technology passing me by and everything is so expensive.

I would like to win an iPad because... because my grandchildren are always laughing at my old computer... as they "it's the size of a small car Nan!"

I would like to win an I
pad as my paper pad has run out of pages

I would like to win an iPad because from my grandson's view, the 'world is not enough' and I want to share the universe with him. Love, challenge and adventure are my constant gifts to him and I can make those gifts even more memorable using Gingersnap.

I would like to win an I pad so that my granddaughter, Grace will think that we are hip and trendy keeping up with the technology and software - great fun too, I hope!!!

I would like to win an iPad because..

Interactive and fun it would be a dream come true
Educational and versatile we'd use it all year through

I would like to win an ipad because, having been trained by my grandchildren, I can now use it and I want them to see my joy

I would like to win a iPad because my mum's laptop broke so she has taken over mine so i can rarely go online anymore grin

Because we are way behind with technology in this house! Plus my laptop is on it's last legs.

wasfield Wed 05-Nov-14 16:39:16

So I can facetime all the kid's.

MamaCaz Wed 05-Nov-14 15:00:30

... they would be able to take the lead for a change and share their already developing knowledge of the latest technology with me. If doing that were to give them even a fraction of the joy that I get from introducing them to new experiences, it would be wonderful. smile

So I can be hip and get down with grandkids,
Check my shares and learn different languages,
Skype and email and set up my own blog,
Because there's life still yet in this old dog.
Use Ginger snap together and have fun adventures.
Near or far or whatever the weather,my new funky IPad will bring us together.

A lovely modern way to share the old stories and games with the new generation, and for them to teach me technology. Anything that brings friends and family closer whilst having fun is a winner in my book! Or should I say 'in my tablet' ???

Because touch screen and swiping looks to be the future in computing, and I dont want to get left behind.

Plus, my laptop is very heavy and quite cumbersome.

Finally, I go to a car-boot every Sunday, and like to get there first .. so, with a nifty ipad, I could while away the time online, while I wait to go bargain spotting.

lousutton68 Wed 05-Nov-14 12:04:15

I'd like to win an iPad so that I can be
A nanny who's up to date with all technology.
I watch my little Demi swiping on her screen
"Look at this! Look at this!" delightedly she screams,
Tap this, tap that and up it comes, her latest TV show.
I'll need some ipad lessons to be a nanny in the know!
But I have just the teacher to guide and to help me,
She knows all about it, even though she's only three!

I would like to win an iPadi so I could give it to my grandaughter so her and her brother can FaceTime me .

I would like to win an iPad so that I can keep up with technology.

I would like to win an iPad because... my 3 year old grandson lives with me, and loves to play with my phone , I know he would love to have use of an ipad and all the educational apps you can get for it. and it would give him a nice head start for reception class next year as he is a bright little boy and I know would pick up the pre school apps very well .

I would like to win an iPad to drag me into the 21st century!
Anyone without an iPad is seriously missing out in a big way.
Help me please - I need to make an impression!
