{I-Phone 4} -Scheduled to debut in February 2011 SCOOP OF THE DAY {Application for Life} |
Computer corporation giant Apple, master of all our familiar technical life and jargon of the day has done it again.
Words and objects such as the I-Pod, Mac, Apple Software, and many others are commonplace in our lives. With the introduction of the I-Pad, Apple's tablet, and the Application (shortened App) Store for Mac computers (a feature once only available on the I-Pod, I-Pad, I-Phone devices), a media phenomenon has been born . Just this past week, the applications at the Apple App Store are now at ten billion downloads, TEN BILLION! (Can we even imagine how much ten billion is?) Its 10,000,000,000 (just to show you in number form).
Or here in perspective: There are more downloaded Apps then kilometers from Pluto to the sun!
Or how about, every person on the planet is about 1.4 apps.
With even more Apple tech becoming so main stream in our lives ( IPhone 4 debuts next month) This really shows how much digital media has become an infectious, essential part of the world. Whatever happened to the days when the word application meant taking what you learned and putting to use in society, not playing Angry Birds on your I-Pod Touch?
