Seen in NYC -- Part II

"Summer Camp" at the Apple store on the Upper West Side... a two-year old excitedly tugs at the mouse, squealing at the resultant animal play onscreen. Gotta hand it to Apple, they capture their customers young.


A related aside from this morning: a stranger seated next to me on the crosstown bus strikes up a conversation (first about fashion, then about NYC, then about work). Visibly intrigued about my job, he talks about an article he read in National Geographic about indigenous, poor Peruvians and Ecuadorians living in the Andes mountains. Adding his own commentary, he states: "These poor families... I mean, the children have no idea what a television is or even what an iPhone is."

Somewhere out there, Steve Jobs is smiling.
