The document discusses how an iPad can help bridge the generation gap between a daughter and her mother who live far apart. It notes challenges in sharing photos through traditional means like printing or email. An iPad allows quick and easy sharing of photos and videos during visits through its large touchscreen without the need for WiFi, since data plans and hotspots provide connectivity. The iPad serves as a way to strengthen family bonds across distances.
