As our society continues to evolve, technology has created an outbreak of shortcuts for humans to

make use of each day. As our ancestors has left us with such creations as electricity, the telephone,

transportation and much more, geniuses of today’s world has taken society to another level. The

technology that we use today allows us to do so much although we are physically doing nothing.

Gadgets such as computers, cell phones, iPods, and navigation systems are just a few

enhancements civilization has adapted too, and Apple Computers is one of the companies that have been

a success in creating this enormous outbreak of technology. Apple Computers was established on April 1,

1976 in Cupertino, California by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne and incorporated on

January 3, 1977.

Apple is credited with the creations of a lot of the technology enhanced gadgets which we use on

a daily basis in the work place and in our personal lives. Apple is accredited with such products as Apple

Computers, computer software, ipad, the iphone and many forms of electronic products. Because

technology is an enhancement to all cultures, race, creed and gender, Apple products are offered in not

Caribbean and Canada.

time zone. These are added features set in each system to accommodate the many cultures in which Apple

    In its mission statement, as a company, “Apple is committed to bringing the best personal computing experience to students, educators, creative professionals and consumers around the world through its innovative hardware, software and Internet offerings”. Looking at Apple’s long track record, they have certainly lived up to that mission statement.

Apple also has made their PC’s more compatible with other PC’s by working with Microsoft and providing the capability to use applications such as Microsoft Office, which is the most widely used creation software. They also cooperated with Intel which allowed them to make their computers faster and more energy efficient. I believe that Apple’s competitive position is sustainable as long as they continue to come up with products that are…
