I am a big Steve Jobs fan and I am currently reading his biography by Walter Isaacson. Even though I am just beginning the book, I am already enjoying it! I never thought I would ever say this but I do enjoy reading (books).
How would life be if Steve Jobs never existed? I believe that we would not have such complex technology. Whether you admit it or not, it has become a huge part of our lives. Steve Jobs was the Einstein of our era and has left a big impact on technology. He created the king of smart phones, the iPhone. His ideas about technology were different than other companies. Rather than creating 10,000 products at one time, he chose to do one at a time for his company. If you were to just throw ten awesome products in the market at one time, under your company name, you are pretty much going against yourself and you are not going to profit as much. His concept was brilliant! No wonder Apple sold 9.5 million iPads in one quarter! That is just unbelievable but it has been done! Today, Apple is one of the most profitable companies in the world! As you can tell, I am an Apple/Mac junkie.
This past weekend, my husband bought me an iPhone 4S. It is the coolest smart phone ever. I am quite anti-android because “Once you go Mac, you never go back.” (Although, I am being a hypocrite now because I am using an ASUS laptop to type up this blog post.) The iPhone 4S has Siri, who is my very own “assistant” on my phone. You can ask her anything and she will try to answer your questions. It is the coolest thing on my phone! I can just press a button and start asking her questions. Siri can tell you where the closest Wal-Mart is at and who the president of South Korea is. By the way, the South Korean president is Lee Myung Bak. I did not know that until Siri told me! Siri can tell you the weather forecast and looking things up for you if you don’t have time to type. Thank you Steve Jobs and the wonderful team at Apple!
I also enjoy my iPad 2 very much but it is time to sell it! I don’t really want to but I need to because I don’t really have a need for it anymore since I bought a laptop and have my cellphone now. My cellphone does almost everything that my iPhone does. I used to use my iPad to check my blog, emails, and social networking sites but I have started to use my iPhone more. My husband did post my iPad on craig’s list and now we are just waiting for a response from someone. I have thought about selling it on Ebay but I don’t want to go through the process of having them take a percentage of what I earned. I like to make things quick and easy. I know that it will be hard to part ways, but I will eventually have to do it.
