The Evil Spawn gets my technology hand me downs.
This is good for both of us. She gets something new and I get something brand-new.
She is generally very appreciative but she would prefer the newest and latest Apple products.
She has my old iPad. She has a very early version of the iPod (squirrels run it).
Evidently, these are no longer cutting it.
She wants to upgrade.
Why?
Because she says she’s the proud owner of iCrap.
iCrap?
Yes, she says old is iCrap.
She is the perfect age to be Apple’s perfect customer.
She’s grown up on Apple. She doesn’t remember Dell, Commodore, or Mattel (classics my friends… classics).
She’s a loyal customer.
Very loyal. She drinks the Apple Kool-Aide.
She doesn’t question them. If they make it, she needs it.
They have the perfect business model. Apple doesn’t make products to fill demand.
They create products to fill needs we didn’t even know we had.
Who knew we couldn’t live a productive civilized life without iPads, iPods, and Mini iThings?
They did. And now she does.
