RE: Finally, the beginning of the end for computers as transports...

"Apple has, however, forced people in certain direction under the guise being some all knowing power that tells its customers what they want, instead of the other way around."

You have correctly assessed Apple's vision. Apple does not do market surveys and then produces what people want. If you ask people what they want, they'll answer by asking for the same thing, just better. In contrast to that, Apple looks for the next curve in the road and produces what people have not thought of yet. There's a long list of new things that Apple computers/software were designed to do that the average computer user could not previously do easily, from creating and laser printing newsletters, to creating music playlists and syncing them to a mobile player, to editing movies and creating picture slide shows, to creating an app ecosystem.

What you have incorrectly assessed is that Apple is forcing people in a certain direction. Apple is not forcing anyone to purchase their products. Apple is simply building exciting products that average computer users want to buy.
