     On my previous post, I talked about how Steve Jobs changed the music market, but his creations did not just affect this one area. In the journal "Imagination" from Internal Medicine News, the author talks about how Jobs' products had helped and even inspired his daughter to learn the alphabet and entered the medicine field. The author says "I see patients filling out forms and reading about their conditions on iPads. I see physicians and nurses looking up information on iPhones (Imagination)." Another journal, from the Pharmaceutical Technology Europe, suggests that there are companies that would like for scientist use the iPad in laboratories. Apple has clearly done more than just change the digital music business; it has changed how people learn and use equipment in their professions. My question is what are some of the beneficial changes that Apple has had on society?

  1. Some beneficial effects that Apple has had on society has definitely been to encourage people to think out of the box and create technology that is easy to use like Androids.
