I do find it ironic that in the famous ad, Apple was trying to make fun of "conformists" when the whole product line is based on conformity to the point that it has become a cult. Absurdity built on ignorance. My first two smartphones were android OS phones, and I ran both of them with advances from the ways that existed back then to bust out of the OS. When I was interested, I took formal programming language courses in Pascal and Modula-2. My current iPhone is almost always running the latest "jailbreak." I have no compelling interest in tinkering with my android tablet. I mostly use it as a device for reading books and for playing scrabble and chess. I don't have a smart phone or a tablet but I do know a lot of people who were disenchanted with the limitations of their Apple product and changed over. The kid who works for my wife was bragging about his IP-6 and she just said "got it" when he started talking about all of his new features. Just because I wasn't a "grunt" in the military doesn't mean I am ignorant of technology. These days, I learn what I have to learn to please myself. While you two boys were shoveling coal in the bowels of some obsolete ship somewhere, I was writing the user manuals for minicomputers being sold to the Peoples Republic of China to aid in weather forecasting for agricultural programs. Well, at least that was their ostensible purpose. Uh huh. What "mini computer" were you writing manuals for in 1965? LOL! Looks like he'd learn his lesson with making up whoppers one day. Or at least think it through before he types. |
