Lack of Apple magic is a popular topic these days, from this excellent Huffington Post article to this Google+ post I commented on yesterday.
Is it just the popular thing to write about today, or is it real?
I thought Huff Post had some excellent points, especially their reminder that Apple didn’t invent technology (like the MP3 player or the tablet computer). They just made them popular. I never bought an iPod; I waited until I bought my first iPhone (which I resisted for years–I’m on my third now). When Microsoft created their first tablets, I was scratching my head trying to figure out why I’d want one. Again, I resisted the iPad for a while, but I own one now. (By the way, go check out an old episode of Babylon 5. They had tablets then that look eerily like my Nexus 7.)
