2000/05/17 Sanlian Life Weekly Author: Zhao Shuang The first time I saw the appearance of Apple's iMac computer, I was quite excited. It was a strange-shaped thing, the host and the display were integrated, like a crystal clear melon, priced at $1,299.It is said that this computer does not have a floppy drive, but it has a CD-ROM. Before that, most of the computers I have seen look the same. Acer once made the computer dark green. I have seen it and thought it was very beautiful at the time, but the iMac is much more beautiful. Who cares if the computer is pretty?It is said that some experts love "naked computers". I am not an expert, but I admire experts very much.I don't know what Jobs did when he returned to Apple, but with this iMac computer alone, I admire "Apple" and Jobs. The iMac is a very cool thing.At the beginning of the year, there was a scientist named Sid who said he wanted to clone humans, then he said he wanted to clone himself, and later he said he wanted to clone his wife, but he still hasn’t cloned his ass. Such an expert is quite boring.And Apple's iMac this year is amazing.

This kind of respect is quite blind, but the so-called "cool" things always have to compete with others. The iMac does not leave space for the floppy drive, which is very inconvenient for people like me who often use floppy disks. It's convenient for me, so I think it's cool and cool.In a sense, this is determined by the background of "computer culture"-most people always have a challenging mentality when playing computers. Jobs said something. He said that some experts are committed to integrating computers and TVs. This is culturally unfeasible, because sitting in front of a computer and sitting in front of a TV are two completely different states of mind. Watching TV Completely relaxed, more alert when playing computer games.

As far as my personal experience is concerned, I have to worship Jobs again, because watching TV is an activity that decreases IQ, and playing computer is an activity that increases IQ. I hope to experience different feelings when facing these two machines. There is such an ad, three generations of a family sit down in front of a computer, the ad means that this computer can be used as a TV or even a home theater, this is the stupidest computer ad I have ever seen - it uses Who would respect the intellectual activity of computer users reduced to the level of watching TV?
