My name is Jesmarnin Lafuente, and I’m a mac.
I’ve been using Apple products for over 5 years now, and I’ve glad to say that it revolutionized the way I live. Thanks to Apple products (mostly the Macbook pro), I have been able to organize myself more efficiently; the hardware is user-friendly, and physically speaking, it is sleek, new and very appealing to the eye. That is why this medium (computers) is such a necessity these days: they help people function. It’s not just computers from Apple though that helped change people’s lives; Windows being the biggest manufacturer of Personal computers (PC) controls about 93% of the market share of clients who are on the internet.
According to Neil Postman, “a medium is a technology within which a culture grows; that is to say, it gives form to a culture’s politics, social organization, and habitual ways of thinking” Computers have been part of human culture for over 30 years now; if we were to remove them from our society, it would be like removing all the water from the earth – we just wouldn’t be able to function properly, plus it would be a wasted effort because we would be taking away what we need most. I am also positive that people would not be communicating as much, since Facebook, Myspace, MSN and Blogs are all on the internet, and these sites are what our generation uses to communicate (other than cellular phones, of course). We also get most of our information from the computer, via the Internet. We are so integrated with our computers it would be ridiculous to see a world without them now. They are part of our environment. You see them more than pineapples I am pretty sure.
