I’ve been trying to get to know different people on imeem!, the social networking site that i told you about before, and I came across this: Think Different.
It’s an old Apple commercial during their “think different” campaign, and a very inspiring one too.
With that video, there was also other ‘related’ ones, like their Newton commercial, and their 2002 iMac introduction video.
Watching these… It’s like looking at what Apple has done. They may not have the biggest marketshare, but they have made a difference in the world.
They introduced the first personal computer back with Apple II in the late 1980’s. Soon after they had their GUI (graphical user interface) Macintosh ready for the public. Which Microsoft copied…
They also released Newton in the 1990’s, and their color iMac’s. The Newton was a first of it’s kind. Other PDA’s never got similar features (wireless capabilities, handwriting recognition) until wayy later in the game. But the Newton was just too early, and it wasn’t a succesful product.
Every new computer Apple releases is always a design marvel. They look great, are powerful, and have the best operating system out there.
Now I feel like I want to do something, to Think Different.
I'm not finished with the design of my blog quite yet, please hold on while I fix the comments, archives, and search templates.

That’s very cool. I feel that way too. I want to make a difference as well.
