Marco Arment writes about his grandfather’s experience with trying to update his iPad so he can use iCoud backups:

It’s easy for most of us around these parts to forget how badly technology still works for so many people. This is supposed to be the best we have today: an iPad, a routine OS update, an Apple Store, an automatic backup feature.

Apple’s made huge strides with making iOS easy for people to use, but there’s still much work left yet.
