Wow, so I guess that means you didn't like this one?
I thought I'd chime in with a quick note that my point in writing this article was to take this idea a step beyond the original Fortune article and show that the magic that made this transaction happen so quickly was NOT just about the iPad. The title of the article was meant to draw you into the story, but I was ultimately trying to make the point that it took a lot more than just an iPad to make this happen. The conclusion is that even if the whole word was using iPads (which is obviously never going to happen) there will still be plenty of room for IT professionals who are building great apps and data platforms like the ones mentioned in this article.
The story is certainly not about propping up the iPad. The title was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. I was poking a stick at the idea that the iPad could save a country.
That said, the suggestion that I could have dug a little deeper and written more about the data platform behind this project is a fair criticism.
We'll work on doing a better job next time and trying to bring you useful insights that can help you in your work. That's our mission.
