The simplicity of the iPad means the potential for unlikely users such as babies, or even orangutans. But are monkeys really our friends?
Stephen Colbert’s special report profiles a program that seeks to introduce orangutans in captivity to the learning powers of the iPad. What most see as harmless, Colbert sees as a threat to national security. The dangers of cyber-war are real, as Richard Clarke explains in the segment. And with iPads, orangutans wouldn’t even need to know how to hack, because, well, there could be an app for that (Destroy America With Friends).
Head to The Colbert Report website and watch the full segment. You’ll laugh. Which we should do as much of as we can before those damn dirty apes take over. [The Colbert Report]
