It's Steve Jobs' fault

A few days ago, I posted an entry about someone blaming the Government for insufficient childcare services in Singapore.

Today, she posted a new status on her FB:

"Nowadays more and more iPad reading stories to children! What happen to the bonding when a parent read to the kids?

Can iPad replace that entirely?

How the hell do u bond when iPad speaks for you?

I can't accept the dynamic swift of this fundamental upbringing process thanks to Steve Job!!!"

(Again, this was quoted verbatim with all the grammar and spelling mistakes)

This is hilarious. Firstly, just because an iPad can read stories to your children, it does not mean you can't read stories to your children anymore. It's your choice. The iPad can be your last-resort-substitute if you are held up with something and cannot entertain your children. 

Secondly, Steve Jobs may have created the concept of the App Store, but he is not responsible for each individual app. In fact, the App Store has opened up a new world of creativity and possibilities thanks to Steve Jobs. This person seems to be blaming Steve Jobs for this particular app - and also disregarding all the other benefits provided by all the other apps out there.

So far, this person has blamed the Government and Steve Jobs for petty things. What will she complain about and who will she blame next?
