Beautifully written. Almost brought tears to my eyes. The combination of art and technology is what gave Apple, and America the competitive edge for so long.

- pedalpete 14y agocan you explain the "and America" part? The PC was invented in the US, and the majority of the culture still comes from there. Microsoft, IBM, Google, Sun, HP, Dell, Facebook... You can argue that Samsung, Sony, etc. have made inroads, but I think America runs tech-culture while other nationalities are sometimes responsible for hardware. But software runs the world, not hardware. The only company I think that isn't American is RIM (I'm Canadain), but their impact is definitely in decline. What do others think? Is ARM, Samsung or Sony, as influential in technology as these American software companies? Or is there a non-American software company I'm missing? I would have put Linux in there, but they aren't a company, and are truly international.
