My Question: Will Apple continue it's success in the future and how?

ParagraphMy question is how will Apple still strive without Steve Jobs. I am going to think about how Apple was first developed and for what purpose. For a part of my research I am going to look at the sales when Apple was first developed and when Steve Jobs died and compare them. And then I will compare the sales from when he died to now. I will try to find out more information about Steve jobs past life and how his adoption has affected him and about his birth parents. My research is going to be based on Apple and Steve Jobs and future technology. In my research I am also going to include Steve Jobs family as they played a big roll in his making of Apple, especially Paul Jobs his adoption father.

Tablet/iPad Industry

The iPad was the first of it's kind in the Apple industry. It was almost four times the size of the iPhone. It was just what business people needed it was light which meant that it was portable, it had big screen with better HD and LED which meant a bigger and clearer way of watching and reading. It was the perfect machine. But Apple did not stop building and building. It soon built the iPad 2,3 and now of course the latest and most advanced version iPad mini

Computer Industry

Apple computers contribute most to of Apples shares and money even beating it's best known product the iPhone. Part of this is because the Mac's and iMacs are a two of Apples most expensive products

Strengths, Weaknesses, Future and Rivalries

Conclusion

My poem

Steve Jobs

A seed was planted in a great man's mind

Which grew to become the juiciest Apple of the century

Making all his supporters crave for a bite

Growing up

From a seed is not easy

Water needs to be supplied daily

But when the water stops the seed will not flourish any longer

The question is whether Apple will grow weaker or stronger

His courier began when he hired as a journalist for the New York Sunday Times and later got hired as a political correspondent.

When he writing Steve Jobs he interviewed him personally forty times and the last time was when a week before Jobs died.So far all of Walter’s books have been biographies.My question is: How will Apple still strive without Steve Jobs. By book is called Steve Jobs. My book links with my topic because Steve Jobs was the man who founded Apple through prominent means of technology but often he had a bad temper. So this book explains a series of events about Job’s life and how Apple a now billion-dollar company came to be so this is how my book is related to my question
