Making computers accessible to everyday people is arguably one of the most important things for the overall development of the world. Apple is doing that.

  And you make them accessible by charging more than anyone else for them? Hello from the third world.

    Historically, most innovations start expensive and as luxury goods, then the innovations are copied and diffused and become cheaper, and eventually commodities. That seems to be happening here as well.

      The relatively recent Apple valuation proves irrevocably that those devices could've came in helluva cheaper than they did and are. I'm not denying the pinnacle acchievements and innovations at Apple here. I'm denying they're in it for the "computer accesibility and development of the world".

        You're contradicting yourself. Your first statement indicated that their pricing meant that they weren't making computers accessible to everyday people. Now you're just attacking their motives (that you can't really know).

          I'm not sure I see the contradiction here. He appears to be suggesting that Apple neither makes computers accessible to the world, nor does it attempt to.
