I am the link, especially between these two.

My mom lives in Lexington, Kentucky, which is 4-5 hours away
I post things on Facebook every day. We just had a family reunion in August
and a lot of pictures were taken.
I want to share these things with my mom, BUT…
• I don’t have a photo printer• If I printed at work I would need to mail it• I don’t have stamps anymore because I pay my bills
online• I could order prints and send them to her home but
that could get kind of expensive• E-mailing them would be so much easier and quicker• Not every photo is print-worthy, if you know what I
mean!
We do things differently
The present is a present
I repeat: I want to share these things with my mom.More than anything, sometimes!

iPad is like a TV
iPad is more than a TV
iPad is more than a TV

What does an iPad require?
But I don’t have Wi-Fi at home.
Wi-Fi hotspots are everywhere
Or subscribe to a data plan
What does an iPad require?Your finger
You
