You're going to have to do better than that if you want to antagonize a fight...

All these things existed well before the iPod and the iPhone, and multiple companies had been working on them already for decades. These things are all just glorified PDA's, the Palm Pilot I had in 1998 pretty must disproves any "X wouldn't be around without Y company" Technology is technology and progress is progress... there's nothing groundbreaking here about Apple AT ALL. My first couple PDA's had WiFi and GPS and there was definitely a Palm Pilot PDA/Phone combo out around the time Blackberry's started to appear a lot more, this is all before the iPhone.... it may be just before or around when the iPod first came out though. To think that technology wouldn't have made that leap to full modern smartphones and tablets on its own without the likes of Steve Jobs is just laughable. -- Samuel Kirsch, Network Support Plexicomm - Internet Solutions | www.plexicomm.net Office: 1.866.759.4678 x109 | Fax: 1.866.852.4688 Emergency Support: 1.866.759.9713 | [email protected] ------ Original Message ------ From: "Josh Luthman" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: 2/2/2016 12:28:15 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] SAD day The world's most popular site and you don't think the world would change? Really??? Apple is gone. People buy Blackberries and Android. Tablets probably won't exist. Mp3 players would probably have come to fruition without them. What else do they have?

Google created a search engine (actually copying Yahoo, Webcrawler, Altavista and several others at the time). They aren't a "product". They don't "sell" anything. They are a webpage, just like Facebook. Imagine your life without Google or Facebook. NOTHING CHANGES. Yes, they built a better mousetrap using their intelligence and hard work... but they aren't "inventors". They didn't create anything new or groundbreaking.

Google is making themselves the curator of access to the world's information and communications. When you consider the value of those, it's not just the most valuable company in matters of money. The founders had incredible foresight in addition to their intelligence and hard work.
