Apple played an important role in this, but that's irrelevant. The fact that this is still going on holds equal wait on all the Silicon Valley giants. I mean who cares if Apple played a role in this. Oh right... We hate Apple...

The fact of the matter is these are companies that are self interested, it just so happens that a lot of their technologies agree with what many people believe. Decentralization of power, power to the people, internet, technology, rebellion against old ways, etc. etc. But we can never forget that these companies are exactly what was in the past, just in a new era with new toys.

If we're to make progress it's important to try, and do things differently.
