Hayao Miyazaki is the greatest animator alive. And he does not like the iPad.

He is one of those people....

I find these comments a little sad. I am sure he is great at what he does, and whether or not the iPad is any good, I think his self importance has gone to his head.

wonderings

Not sure why anyone would ask him about the iPad or any other piece of tech. He doesn't use them, so is comments to me are completely worthless. He kinda comes off like an old "coot" not getting along with the changes of the world and is bitter about it... Thats how he comes off to me anyways.

I like the last bit the best. Even though he puts down technology, he/his studio still does work for nintendo. :c lap:

I like his stance on creativity and agree with him, but don't put it down if you're helping create it.

And SINC, our Resident Curmudgeon doesn't like iPads either!

Worth noting Hayao Miyazaki also "rarely watches TV, does not own a computer or a fax and doesn't even own a DVD player"

He's JUST the person to ask about iPads if you want an impartial commentary LOL. I'm surprised he even knows what they are.

I just couldn't stop laughing when I read this and now when I see guys "in action" using an iPad in public, the masturbation image will live in my mind forever.
