A reader of The Daily Dish writes:

“Apple products nurture a crazy kind of hope in people. It’s the hope of modernity: that new ideas can make us better. Part of Apple’s genius is to deliver those new ideas in a way that celebrates humanity and the things that make us human…

…Apple reaches for greatness without apology. Market share and profitability are important only as outcomes. They are not its purpose, which is to achieve the “insanely great.” It is as if they are on an ongoing Grail quest. (As Professor Henry Jones said to Indiana: “The search for the Grail is the search for the Divine in all of us.”)

Yeah, it’s just some metal, plastic and silicon. And, yes, Apple makes a lot of money. But those two observations miss completely the point of Apple. It’s about inspiration, hope and an embrace of the future and humanity’s place within it.”
