iPad replaces newspaper. I just used mine to guide a fly out of the open window.

As long as you can’t swat a fly with the iPad it will not replace a newspaper.

I was visiting my son and daughter-in-law last night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper.
 
‘This is the 21st century, old man,’ he said. ‘We don’t waste money on newspapers.  Here, you can borrow my iPad.’
 
I can tell you, that fly never knew what hit it…..!
 
7 August 2012, Gulf Daily News (Manama, Bahrain), “Managing the media mess” by Winnie:
DO you have a newspaper?, the old man asked.
 
The young whelp laughed, “No Grandad, this is a 21st century household. Here, use the iPad.”
