Today, while at work taking notes on a pad of paper, my boss witnessed me trying to scroll down on the paper, as if it was a touch-screen phone. FML

Soon, you're going to expect the pad to spellcheck your work. Peh. Humans, you gotta do everything for them. Get a paperclip and pretend it's assissting you. That won't make you look crazy at all to your boss.

Well sir a pen is a type of writing utensil that uses ink and makes marks that can't be erased. And a pad of paper is described by its name.

I would just play it off like I was doing something else...

This would've been relatively easy to play off, OP. You could've simply said you were wiping a smudge off of the page, or trying to flip to the next page of the pad.

27- Call me judgmental, but me thinks if Op has a hard time trying to differentiate between a note pad and an iPad, he may also be lacking in the facilities to cover up said deficient. ;P Just saying. ;D

When the text doesn't respond to your swipes, hold your thumb down on the bottom center of the pad and put a finger of your other hand on the top edge, and hold it for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo comes on. You may need to hold it longer than 10 seconds. If you hold it for an hour and the Apple logo doesn't come up, take your pad to the Apple Store and let them look at it. Insist on seeing a Genius.

OP probably goes nuts when the power goes out!

40- I don't know about Op, but when I have an outage during the evening and visibility could be better, I get out this centuries old, dark age wax cylinder with a string core in it and I set the tip of it on fire! So crude, yet effective! (Op, it's called a "Candle." I suggest googling it first for future reference!) ;P

Y'all young whippersnappers with your electronic doodads! Back in my day, we did our work with God's ipad, a piece of paper and a pen! Ya dang children, ruinin' the world, those robotic men will take over before you have a chance to facespace about it
