= ** TASK 3 **** THE STORY OF APPLE ** =

** Listen to Steve Jobs´commencement speech at Stanford University on 12th June 2005 **

** [|BILINGUAL IES SANTA ROSA BLOG] ** = = ** This is the complete activity we did in the classroom: ** = = = = ** Is there an apple in your life? ** =Do you own any Apple products or other products that have been inspired by= =Apple? How do you think Apple has changed the way we work and play? Have all the changes been positive? What do you think will happen to Apple now that Steve Jobs is no longer in charge of the company. ( 200 words)=

Well, I had an iPod several years ago, and now, I have got an iPhone and my husband has an iPad and a Mac computer. Since we are working with Apple´s products, we hate to work with other systems. Really, there are many differences between Apple´s products and others. Mainly, I think there are advantages in the way we work and play with this system, such as: On the other hand, we can find some disadvantages: That is the past and the present of Apple, but... what about its future without Steve Jobs? Many people think that Apple will remain one of the most valued companies in the world thanks to strong sales of Macs, iPhones and iPads. The consumers demand for these products is in the increase every day. Jobs thought about this point before his death. He designed new iPhone versions -iPhone 4S and iPhone 5- and named Tim Cook director of Apple. I hope Apple will continue being one of the most profitable business in the world for long time.
 * __CRISTINA´S OPINION__**
 * working with windows system -Microsoft copied this system to Apple when it developped Windows System-,
 * true multitask system,
 * better working with graphic´s dates and
 * it´s very weird that the computer crashes while you are working -a very important characteristic for me.
 * the high price of its products,
 * incompatibility with other products, although in the Mac computer you can emule all Windows´ programme types,
 * you only can get its software in //Apple Store// -most of the time buying them, because they usually are not free- and only with its aplication //Itunne.// So, when you have an Iphone, an Ipad or a Mac computer, you always depend on its own software and hardware.

I have no apple products, nor do I think __it__ will have. __Yes__ I consider essential to have a computer at home, I love surfing the internet. I do not like mobile phones, although I have one because it is sometimes very useful, __but I like not depend on the phone__. And I do not like listening to music through headphones. I was a Windows user until recently. But Windows is a product to be sold and do business. It has many __things comfortable__ but you have to pay and it is full of viruses. And Apple is the same but with more design, less __cabling__ and more expensive. __Is another__ product for business and like any business the goal is to make profits, and __materially enrich__ the owners of the company. The alternative is free software, like Linux. Linux has no viruses and is free. The goal of Linux is not making money but sharing knowledge among users and allow access to computers __TO__ as many people as possible with an open operating system. Steve Jobs chose to be the star of the promotion of his __company's products__. Apple 's future depends on creating new products, on upgrading their existing products and on __**marketing** A strategy that is made for its **promotion.**__
