You’re talking about whether an iPad can accurately reproduce the quality of the original tools.

While I would certainly agree, like it or not, many of these things are being replaced by iPads/iPhones and other smart devices.

Many people used to carry around point and shoot cameras, calculators, watches, flashlights, etc. but those things are just short of completely depreciated.

Sure, this ad included things that aren’t quite as deprecated, but the trend is in that direction, and not away.
