Here’s to the Crazy Ones

 

A friend of mine sent me this video and it blew me away. I don’t know where he finds this stuff but he does. If you have a chance, check out his blog:

Yep, you guessed it. My creativity has a source. This name is Kevin. Kev, you’re awesome! Thanks again for the ideas.

 

So he sent me this video and I watched it a few times. After seeing it, I realized there are others out there just like me. I believe we are called “The Crazy Ones.”

 

Growing up I was a bit of  “a trouble maker.” I didn’t really enjoy rules and often found intelligent ways around them. I was always thinking of more efficient ways of doing things, even if they were the simplest of tasks. I was often called lazy. I thought I was being smart.

 

Today, being done school and looking for employment, I can’t settle. I can’t settle to work for “the man”. I can’t sign up for something that I do not want to be apart of, something I am not passionate about. And I don’t want to get up in the morning and not love what I do.

 

After watching this short clip I had a sigh of relief. There has to be something out there for me, and others that feel the same.

 

 

 

Although I knew what the ad was about, it still surprised me. It’s plain and simple. I want one (I guess that’s what I’m supposed to think after seeing that).

 

I did some more searching and found one of the creative minds behind apple. His name is Steve Jobs. After he dropped out of college he suddenly had more time to attend the classes that interested him. Go figure! At the age of twenty an Apple fell from a tree. Along with his partner in crime Steve Wosniak, that Apple grew from guys in a garage to a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. Please, do yourself a favor and watch this video. It will all make sense.

 

This is Steve Jobs’ commencement speech at Stanford University in 2005.

 

How do you like them apples?

I was searching through videos on youtube and I found this interesting advertisement from apple. In January of 1984 Apple released the Macintosh computer. Take a look…

After seeing this I think I would be completely deterred from technology all together, especially after hearing George Orwell’s perspective in his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Looking at how technology shapes our existence, it seems as though Orwell was pretty accurate!
