iPad causing a paradigm shift?

There are lot of white noise buzzing on the net that the iPad is killing off the  computer and Netbook market, and other segments of the way we live our life. It's almost a year since I got my iPad and these are the changes that it has manifested in my life:

1. I read my New York Times on my iPad, my experienced with this app is smooth and quick. So, I canceled my newspaper subscriptions to The Globe and Mail, and NewYork Times.
2. I use my iPad as a navigator from my location and in the car. So, when I traded in my car with a factory installed navigator, I dropped this options and avoided a $2,000 navigator.
3. Every night when I get home from work I grab my iPad and check my emails, read articles, browse the web, Facebook, twitter, watch TV , chat with my wife, while chilling on couch. So, I stopped using the netbook.
4. I check my banking accounts more frequently, since the apps are easy to use. So, I rarely go on my laptop to do my banking.
5. I'm reading more books and especially the classics on my iPad.  It is very convenient and I don't need to turn on my bedside lights for reading. So, I reduced the amount of books I purchased and broaden my genre.
6. I conveniently browse for magazines and purchase the issues I need. It sure beat paying an annual subscriptions or heading to the bookstore for a recommended read. So, I read a broader genre but spending more on magazines.
7. I borrow books from the library and read them on my iPad and no need to worry about late fees. So, I don't need to rush to the library and pickup my book I requested.
8. Wow, watching movies on my iPad with my Phillips headphones are awesome. Netflix is awesome and so accessible on my iPad. iTunes rental are more affordable than Blockbuster. So, I stopped renting movies from Blockbuster and use Netflix and iTunes.
9. My new born son pictures and videos are on Picasa and my iPad. When friends come by I simple pass the iPad with a slideshow of my son pictures. So, I rarely print pictures, nothing beat the iPad experience and wow factor.
10. I can use my iPad for two days without charging it, since the battery is excellent. So, no power cable, no hot laptop, no rushing to charge.... full satisfaction.

This is not an exhaustive list of positive experiences but I'm sure you have garner the cause and effect of the iPad on my life.  Unfortunately I don't have a camera since I'm one of those early adopter. But, with facetime and Skype I'm sure my wife would be using the iPad more than I.

Therefore, I can safely say that the iPad is causing a paradigm shift in our computer usage and lifestyle. Go and get an iPad, because it is WiFi and 3G ready, light, easy to use, long battery life, easy to travel, sleek and sexy.
