The Development of Technology through Apple

            Apple has guided the development of technology in many different and innovative ways over the course of the past few years.  They have established themselves as the worldwide leader in electronic innovation by doing business in four different continents in eleven different countries.  They have made a name for themselves internationally by having 62% of their sales being overseas.  The advances that Apple has made to the world though the modernizations that it has created with its products have changed the way that the world runs today. 
            The development of technology has been a very long and taxing road but it has come to place of great inventions and ideas that people want more and more of.  Less than thirty years ago, computers in the home were a rare occurrence.  Now, through the advances that Apple has made with its products, computers are in almost every household and usually in multiples.  Internet can also be accessed on many different devices that Apple makes including the iPhone, the iPod touch, and the iPad.  Through these changes in technology, the power of the internet is at the fingertips of millions of people worldwide.
            Many businesses around the world harness the power of Apple products to make their businesses as efficient as possible.  One of the companies that have decided to use Apple products in order to further their business is General Electric Company.  They have even gone to the lengths of creating many of their own apps that help them with many of their business ventures.  For example, they have created an app that will help them monitor their wind turbines so that if something goes wrong, they will know before they have to manually inspect them.  This is just one of many apps that GE has created to help further itself in the economic world we live in today.
            Apple has changed the way that we think about technology and in turn changed the way that the world operates.  Without them, I do not think that technological advances would have progressed as much as they have.

  1. You do a good job in explaining who Apple is and how they have changed technology around the world in some areas like the Internet. I think it would be a good idea to elaborate a little more on what products Apple offers and how these products are different from what we have had in the past (why they have led the way in technology). Other than that, great job.
