Computers are tools to do work.
Evangelists do nothing but attach a higher value to computers in an effort to convince others that they are not doing "work" and that their way is the right way.
You would be hard pressed to find a better tool to do your work than a Mac/iPad/iPhone in 2020.
- arexxbifs 6y ago> Computers are tools to do work. They stopped being mere tools for work a long, long time ago. Computers are - apart from nowadays being ubiquitous in many everyday objects - sold as consumer appliances for end users to watch TV and store their personal photos, texts, correspondence and conversations. And even if people stop doing that, computers are also used to do banking and contact government agencies, in many places so much so that they're _needed_ to do this, creating a massive lock-in for most people to accomplish everyday tasks. I wonder how many people there'd be who'd really have to "do work" on computers if the above wasn't the case.
- morelisp 6y ago> Computers are tools to do work. What a despondent and dystopian attitude shift from "bicycles for the mind." If this is the modern attitude of Apple users, no wonder the products have also gone to shit.
- lkslkdjal12 6y agoHaha, hard pressed to find something better than an apple product in 2020? C'mon, go to any computer/phone store and you'll have plenty of options, for a cheaper price and with better privacy.
