O.K. so full blown narcissism is found in only 1% of the population but I have to believe that I-Pods, I-Tunes, and I-Photos are pushing me closer down the continuum to that 1%. I am just beginning to explore these technologies but find that I am getting a little obsessed with what I like and don't like and all of the things that I appropriate to represent myself. Does Apple know that is possibly promoting a DSM-II classified disease "characterized by extreme focus on oneself, and is a maladaptive, rigid, and persistent condition that may cause significant distress and functional impairment"?
It does not seem to be a coincidence that in a society where the most commonly used words in the lexicon are I and me that M
ac would identify its products as I-Books, I-Tunes, I-Movies, and I-Phones. Another thing I wander about is if the logo for Mac, an apple with a bite taken out of it, could it be possibly referencing the apple off the tree of knowledge of good and evil? And if so what is Mac trying to say?
