You covered all three of my discussion questions – Great response.
I would also like to see if Apple will continue to advance within the technology sector. After the passing of Steve Jobs, it is hard to know if someone else could take his place as the visionary and strategist of the company.

Advancements in technology have both positive and negative effects on our economy. Positive effects include the emergence of new services and industries, GDP growth, and direct job creation. Negative effects include increased risk of hijacking of personal information, elimination of jobs and increase in digital divide — which could possibly strengthen the separation of wealth in the future. Apple is successful in their global business strategy mainly because of the efficiency of their products. They create devices that are easy to use and get used to — which is extremely important when breaking into a foreign market. As for other emerging technology markets, I am interested to see if apple will put out their version of technologically advanced eyeglasses to rival GoogleGlass sometime in the distant future.

We read an interesting article on security and the apple watch last semester. It was all about how companies have to now ban watches from the office because of the potential for recording and taking pictures of secure documents. It’s interesting – I think this is a great article and really think your discussion questions should spark some good responses!
Technological advances are certainly good for our country and our economy. We are always looking for the next exciting things that is coming in our market. But for some it is hard to keep up with technology as you realize there is going to be a new iphone every year.But these days the country with the strongest tech wins as they can hack into other countries systems. Ex. when America hacked into North Korea’s system recently when the movie “Interview” was released.
Recently Carl Ichan released a statement that Apple stocks are worth $240 but they trade at $130. From this you can tell apple is a value stock which certainly dominates the tech industry internationally and domestically.
