The unboxing magic

We love Apple in my house. That’s why it’s a holy moment every time we unbox a new Apple device. We open the box carefully, admire the clever packaging, and enjoy it.

I have the pleasure of coaching an old lady on how to use her iPad. I had quite an unboxing experience with her. She doesn’t live in the ”Apple context” as I do. She doesn’t know all that about design, elegance, beauty, form and function. To her, this iPad is just yet another item to own. It was a healthy experience to watch her unbox her iPad. She took off the lid, and in the second when I expected her to carefully lift the little plastic tab on the side, she just flipped the whole box, and the iPad popped out in the blink of an eye. Wow!

I was shocked. But it was funny! Old folks don’t have enough time to spend on non-essentials.

I live and work on Gotland, Sweden’s biggest island, right in the middle of the Baltic Sea. I’m interested in many things and somehow I happened to start four blogs with different content.

Asa In the Middle of the World is in English and is also about life on this island, but the content has changed to be more about Apple. I’m very interested in Apple and since 1989 I’m a Happy Apple User.
