Over 30 years ago Sony came out with the Walkman. Back then there were small(ish) flat boxes with a flat tape inside that had music recorded on it. Funny huh. 
So Apple decided that it wanted in. Digital music (restricted with DRM) store and digital music players. The world changed. Remove DRM from music, the world changes.
They didn't invent the computer, the portable music player that you can load your music on to, or the ereader. But the world changes when they get involved.
I have my own reservations about Apple Corp. But they do influence The Shape of Things to Come. |
Wow, someone who can see the forest for the trees.
iPad is my first Apple computer, and I'm ready to ditch it if something better comes along. I don't qualify as an Apple fan, but I agree that Apple drives tech and content consumption.
