I never am the type to use dictionary definitions, so here goes:
1. Imagine an essay you wrote in school, an exciting topic like "How the Apple Computer killed computers and the web."
2. Its followed by tons of paragraphs that make no sense --after all you took just 2 hours making it! For example:
How the Apple Computer killed computers and the web
by Fearless School Crammer
I believe Apple computer, in 2010 killed computers when it introduced the IPAD. They called it a tablet device, but history shows it to be a stone in david's slingshot on it's way to Goliath's forehead. Goliath being the immense PC market spearheaded by HP at that time. Within one year, HP's PC division is now being "let go" along with the erasure of the Ipad competitor WebOS from the face of the tech world.
In the ensuring years, Apple has:
1. Removed USB, DVDs and CDs from their device-and other companies followed suit.
2. Relegated large PC like machines to home based "server rooms" (closets!) just like in the old IBM days
3. Replaced the keyboard with myriad digital interfaces like swipes and curls and gestures most humans already know how to use.
4. Made people dependent on apps to see most everything online - including the internet, increasing the demand for app programmers to replace the HTML web programmers who create the "www" (web)sites of the world.
Truly an astonishing accomplishment given they started with a more expensive mp3 player than the RIO (the first mp3 player).
3. So let's breakdown that article:

P.S. comments are welcome!
