Apple

Just go anywhere, walk on the streets, look around. Everyone, and i mean everyone, is using apple products. be it a simple 'ipodshuffle" or an "iPhone4", more than half the people you're staring at have it. If you don't believe it, you can go check it out yourself. if you have never ever heard of an apple product, you must most definitely come from Pluto.

Whats the big deal about "iPads", "iTouchs" or "iPhones"? I used to own an "iTouch", letting it dangle out of my pocket for everyone to drool about. All my classmates labeled it "WOW" and I would stand at a corner laughing about it. I have something they don't and they are envious. However, things have changed. Even the janitor in my school owns one.

I was just sitting in the bus plugged into my music and when i looked to my left and right, the lady in green stilettos and Chanel perfume with diamond earrings was using the "office" application on her "iPad", while the cigarette -scented street gangster with detailed tattoos was air-drumming to a song blasting from his headphones, as you probably suspected, plugged into his "iPhone". Do you see the extremes?

Having an apple product is no longer deemed "cool" or extraordinary, but cliche, and typical. Sure, it may be convenient as they have great marketing managers with minds like the consumers, but is it really necessary for some of us? I doubt so. They have fun and really eye catching applications that apply to all ages, from the 4 year old child living next door to me, to the 87 year old janitor in my school, apple products are dominant and rampant everywhere.

I wont be surprised to see "iMats" and "iWalls" in the future.
