Notes
How would it be if Apple had never existed?
How would computers be if Apple had never existed? If Steve had never met Steve? If Bill had continued the development of his DOS? No mouse? No operating system with windows and desktop?
I’ve been asking myself this question a couple of years ago.
Actually my first question was: how can Apple always be the best, and what can one do to be better? Or is it possible that computers could have been better if the Mac had never existed?
Look at the iOS for example: It has nothing in common with desktop operating systems. The metaphor of the desk, the drawers and windows doesn’t even exist in it. Could it have been invented before the computer, saving us from years and years of point and click?
I came up with an intresting theory, but unfortunately I’ll be in Istanbul for 10 days so I don’t have time to continue, but I will after my holiday.
Meanwhile I leave you with this question, and an image of a device I mocked up with photoshop, which will help me explain my theory. I called it “Simon Says” and I’ll tell you about it in my next post ;)
Happy holidays!
