Everyone has their own time

The backstage of the three press conferences of the French Shark satisfies all my personal fantasies about Jobs, even if I am not an Apple fan. The color bar apple pattern in the movie reminds me of the stock plot in Forrest Gump, which is actually a detail that I realized after watching the iPhone 4 again.

The first impression of Apple came from "Legal Blonde", a very cliché American story. In order to win back her boyfriend's heart, the heroine worked hard to enter the Harvard law major, and then bought a Mac to study. At that moment, the Apple icon that was bitten was deeply imprinted in my heart. At that time, I didn't even have a desktop computer of my own. Apple has become the representative of the outstanding small-scale in my mind. I think that I must buy a Mac that belongs to me in the future, and then use it to change myself and the world. Who is Jobs? Sorry, I don't know.

The second impression came from the goddess in college. In college, there were only a handful of people who could use mobile phones in the whole school, and she was one of them. And me, kidding, of course not. When the sophomore year started, she had an Apple mp4 in her hand, which could hold movies and had a high-definition screen. The screen was big enough to click the mp4 with virtual buttons! This was like a bolt from the blue for me. Out of the convenience of my classmates, I borrowed it and studied it once or twice. This made me interested in this company.

Through the early days of Google, I learned what an amazing company this is and what an outrageous guy is at the helm. Paranoia can make history.

Until now, I haven't really owned an Apple product of my own. It has nothing to do with the death of Jobs. There are a lot of people who can't understand why my first smartphone didn't change until 13 years ago, and it's a Lumia that has no hope. I don't want to explain. What I want to say to them is that I'm reluctant to buy a BlackBerry. In this era that has been subverted, no one can say that they are doing better than others, but it is an attitude to adhere to the niche. In other words, sticking to yourself is an attitude.
