The way Apple manufactures needs (e.g., compelling millions of people to buy new cell phones every two years) is an abomination.
(“Forget 500-page books, people don’t even read 500-word articles anymore,” The iPINIONS Journal, July 17, 2014)
Not that this is a source of any corporate shame, mind you. After all, I was stupefied when I heard CEO Tim Cook say – with perverse, self-righteous pride (on the September 14, 2014, edition of Charlie Rose ) – that Apple is in the business of creating needs people don’t even know they have…. Which, I suppose, is not too far removed from God proclaiming to create air for people to breathe, water for them to drink, etc., etc.
