My instinctive answer that raced through my thoughts – the keyboard of my MacBook Air. As I thought of it, it is not as bewildering as it initially sounds.

Thoughts got bottled up in my mind.

My Apple Disclaimer and a tribute to unseen Beautiful.

Other than owning a few apple products, I do not have a personal stake in the company. I am not given to showering encomiums. Yet, my words cascade down from heart for Apple’s singular devotion to small details.

If we had an unusual map - every point on map represent population density rather land area, cities would occupy more space. Similarly, if we represent the density of neural connections to the brain rather than surface area of our body, the hand (below the wrist) and the face would be very prominent.

    Apple proves that being secretive holds power. The success of using the tactic of withholding information from consumers has been proven time and time again to phenomenally increase sales each time their product hits the stores (Kinicki & Williams, 2013). Whenever Apple comes out with new product people are filled with a strong desire to want to know what was made they scramble to stores to buy its latest gadget (Eadicicco, 2014). The power of secrecy is a good marketing strategy for Apple; they do not spend vast amounts of money like its competitors did on advertising. The business strategy's goal was to create mystery about their product line which results in massive crowds at retail stores and the end results equals high profits for Apple.…

    Rui Zhao Winter 2018 ARTD 252 John Park Reading Response 2 – Can You Hear Me Now? Beyond this article, I've seen a TED talk, "Connected, but alone," and the speaker Shirley Turkel states that the more rapid development of science and technology, in fact, partly reflects that technology is guiding the direction of change in our lives, even in our own direction. This phenomenon, in some situations, is supposed to make us aware of it, but in many cases we unconsciously indulge in it. Are you familiar with the scene: family members sit together and stare on their respective computers and mobile phones but not talking from heart; Friends hang out outside desperately refresh their Facebook, Twitter, WeChat, Weibo (popular Chinese social media platforms)…

    Applejack was swept backward from the shock of it, stumbling into the door as Claudia cowered against her. The girl's face clenched into her shoulder, both arms pressing around her waist. Afraid to reach out, afraid the girl might flinch away from her touch, she simply stood there, a passive recipient to the girl's terror, still and silent as dawn in the near-darkness. They were standing so close she could feel her bare knees brush the thin fabric of Claudia's jeans, the girl's breath wisping off the edge of her throat. A cold frission shot up her spine.…

    Brain Mapping

    • 474 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In his recent article "Making a Brain Map that We Can Use", Alva Noë argues that cell-by-cell mapping of human brain is inefficient, if not impossible. He builds this claim by an effective use of analogies, references to scientific data and allusions to modern literature employed to persuade the reader. Noë starts the article off by recalling how he started pondering the question of brain-mapping having read a piece about the neuroscientist Sebastian Seung who is trying to acquire deeper understanding of this organ by tracing out individual cells, neurons. Noë undermines the sensibility of such study in the very beginning by quoting David Marr who pointed out almost 50 years ago the illusionate nature of knowledge about the whole drawn from its parts and thus describing Seung's attempts as a "step back".…

    Most people know and love the Apple brand. Its image is universal and easily recognizable, with a sleek design that separates its brand from competitors. “Apple enjoys the loyal following that it does because of the totality and consistency that comes from experiencing the products and the surround-sound that envelops them” (Joseph).
