I don't mean to be cynical but it might be more constructive to make your son a fan of technology and design, rather than a corporation. If Woz's or Jobs's ambitions were to be CEO of HP or IBM, we'd never have Apple.
- tgrass 16y agoAs a parent, I'd argue that one can't 'make' a child a fan of anything.
- revorad 16y agoYeah I guess not, but you can point them in certain directions.
- runjake 16y agoFor a classic example as to how this statement is completely wrong, I invite you to Google or Wikipedia "Prussian Blue". Kids are (by design) impressionable and easily indoctrinated into any scheme.
- jason_slack 16y agoAgreed. He loves Apple and entrepreneurship because I do and I always have. He will probably never be an employee of a company because he already wants to do his own thing. He hires his brother and sister to do his chores for a fraction of what he wants to get paid for them. Pays them and pockets the rest. He saved and bought his own iPad in July and is now saving for a new AppleTV and Mac Mini. Apparently his MacBook Pro is not good enough..sigh
- jason_slack 16y agoWell, he spends a lot of time designing the next hit products. New laptops, new ipod, the next magic trackpad. He keeps all of his design and prototypes. This leads to conversations of why a dual i5 MacBook would be hard due to heat concerns and needing to further miniaturize components, etc. He also is inter UI design and laying out how products should work.
