What did it do before that it doesn't do now? Did it suddenly stop working; wifi, bluetooth, etc ... dead? Are all the apps suddenly iOS 6 only?

No.

Stop being so damn dramatic.

> If you update an app to an iOS 6 version in iTunes on your computer and then try to sync your iPad 1, the old version of the app will just get removed from your iPad 1.

It's certainly true that Apple even allowing such a thing to happen is broken (the device should reject app updates it can't run).

But that something like that could happen still doesn't make the iPad a paperweight. People will happily use their first generation iPads long into the future, despite what the FUD.
