PC vs. Mac

In a world that presents controversial issues such as UofL vs. UK, Jennifer Aniston vs. Angelina Jolie, and Paper vs. Plastic, another important issue has come to surface: PC or Mac? For the last few decades, two computer “types” have emerged as the standard for Personal Computer Use by consumers across the world. The decision to be a Pro-Mac or Pro-PC is yours to decide.
Imagine a world when there was only one type of computer to choose from. No memory comparisons were to be made, no price differences to be calculated; the choice had been made for you.
It seems farfetched in our free-market economical system, but for three years in the 1980s, it was true. Since that time, the number of Personal Computer companies has increased, along with the standards.
In nearly three decades of technological development, two types have emerged as the basis for the consumer to choose, and thus, so has the debate as to which is better: PC or Mac?
In the 1980s and 1990s, PCs largely dominated the sales of the computer market. The lower selection of available software left a bad perception of Apple computers for many consumers. Currently, things are more exciting in the computer market. Apple’s quality dramatically increased, while more companies were manufacturing PCs, leading to the growth in competition.
We're even getting an Apple store in Oxmoor, set to open in the next couple months. By the way, if you've never been inside of an Apple store, prepare for chaos. I went to the one in Cincinnati when I lived there, and there were always tons of people crawling all over it. There's a kids area, and then there are places for you to play with all of the Mac gadgets that are currently out on the market. Makes you wonder how many computers get broken with all kinds of people playing on them all day.
I'm excited for the future of the computer market though. Without the strict competition that the PC vs. Mac debate brings, there would be no room for the excitement of new releases in software and gadgets.
