A lot is happening now in the world of technology. As you read this article, an engineer or a developer has just created a new gadget, software or just a simple app for the world to divulge in. We now have the new iPad, the iOS 6, the Google Nexus 7, the Kindle Fire HD, the iPhone 5, and the coming of the iPad Mini. Many customers are lining up for all these gadgets and they find everything else a void or oblivion. They forget their surroundings once they have the new iPad in their hands, creating a world of their own, forgetting that there is life out there. Reality now takes place in your iPad. As fast as technology is developing, people are selling their iPad 1 for the new one. Who needs the old one, right?When Apple released their first tablet decades ago—oh, wait, that was just two years ago—we used to call it the iPad. Now that there are new generations, with a smaller model about to come out, we now call it the original iPad, or classic iPad, or even old iPad. Now that there is a new iOS, you are being forced to sell your old iPad because it is not compatible with iOS 6.

The iPad 1 is thicker and heavier than the iPad 2 and the new iPad. It is slower than the two, and you will pity its display once you put it beside iPad 3’s Retina Display. Obviously, the iPad 1 is an old dog. But unlike an old dog, you can’t teach an iPad 1 new tricks, because there are no new tricks (apps) for it anymore. Everything else is for the iPad 2 and more for the new iPad.

If you are an iPad 1 user, then you are using a fossil. The new iPad makes you feel like your iPad was unearthed from the grave.

But why would sell your iPad when it still works well? Isn’t it good enough to handle the work you are doing or fast enough to play the games you want. You can still read your e-mail with your iPad 1, update your Facebook account with it, tweet with it, blog with it, and many other things.

Why don’t you just wait until it breaks down? Besides, there are a lot of online refurbishment companies out there like CashforiPads.com that would still buy your iPad even if it is broken. Besides, didn’t you buy that gadget because Apple promised you that that it was durable? Ask yourself: Why would Apple make you stop using it if they didn’t make it good?

I understand that you are now stuck with the decision whether to stay with it or say goodbye to it by selling your old iPad online. It is not easy. You might be worrying about the fact that the new iOS is not compatible with your old iPad now. But let me tell you that you should be worried about the future OS platforms, because once you are cut off from the line, you can never go back because the later ones will not let you. The iOS 6 may have cut off the line for the old iPad, but it is still up to you whether you want to say goodbye to it now.
