Re: Does technology make us ungrateful?
I agree, but Apple’s MO has always been flawless integration. It’s quite the defining feature in the computer market (although much easier to do when you create both hardware and software), and they’ve carried that over to their other devices. When it falls short, there is bound to be some criticism.
And as I said before, part of it is simply getting used to Google maps and the like. It’s the reason BlackBerry is mocked. People became accustomed to Apple’s browsers and apps, and totally ignore BlackBerry’s superior phone, battery life, and email integration. It’s perfectly suited for the business world but it’s mocked nonetheless. In fact, many consulting and banking firms give employees BlackBerrys with only email enabled.
