Strange Thoughts! What Should I Do?
I wonder what will happen to Apple Inc. if the company lived on long enough to see aliens. Allow me to present my thoughts in a timeline:
- Apple Inc makes excellent electronics for people, they have incredible sales
- Year 2030, aliens visited Planet Earth and presents humans with alien technology
- Customers want the best electronics, so they went to the aliens to buy their stuff, and no one buys stuff from Apple anymore
Is this the final fate of human business, if one day we finally see advanced life forms?
If this is the final fate, I don't know what to do. -
Re: Strange Thoughts! What Should I Do?
If aliens came to our planet, willing to share advanced technologies, they almost certainly wouldn't trade them to us for our worthless currency. We only use money on a global scale because it's the easiest way to exchange value between one another. Even this system will fail within the next 50-100 years by my reckoning.
If Apple no longer provide state of the art technology, there would be very little reason for them to exist at all. They're just another business, I don't know why anyone would care if their business model was to be challenged, even by aliens. May the greatest innovators succeed
