I really was not planning on writing anything tonight, just playing with my new G4. But after tonight’s bedtime story, or more accurately, during the story, I came across something I just had to share. Something that proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Macs (in this case, the iMac) has so suffused within our society that it has forever change our perceptions.
Below is the book read to our kindergartener. Any of you who have young kids will recognize the series, the scholastic books Clifford the Big Red Dog.
While reading the story, here are some of the pictures. Now, you tell me, is that not an iMac?
So what does this prove? Well, beside the fact that author Norman Bridwell is most likely a Mac user, it proves that the iMac is a firm fixture of our twenty-first century world. It is a part of our culture, our identity, and our sense of style. You can’t tell if a PC in a children’s story is a Dell, IBM, or any other bland brand. Usually when you see a computer, it is just a beige box, with a generic keyboard. Obviously those are much easier to draw than an iMac would be. But in these pictures, you can clearly tell this is indeed an iMac.
Isn’t that just really neat? I think so.
