A Letter to Apple's CEO

To Timothy D. Cook,

Hello my name is Raven Velez, and I am writing to you because I have a bone to pick with you and your corporation. Believe it or not, I feel that your products have totally changed the social structure. Creating and changing the social structure is linked to action, and by you taking action and creating the Apple iProducts, you have completely changed the social structure. Society nowadays, has no appreciation for a certain things anymore because of your iProducts. For instance, before all the advancement due to Apple, people in society had a great appreciation for a comic book. It was one of the best feelings in the world when you would go to the comic book store pick up the latest issue of your favorite, "Captain America", comic. However now people can just tap on a screen a few times and they have their comic. Don't even get me started on the effect this is having on the generation of kids today. In my generation there were no touch screen phones that you could play games all day, there was only board games and you couldn't download those and play them all day because there were chores that had to be done. By you creating these iPhones, iPods, and iPads you have made it easier for the kids in society to be disconnected with their parents, sibling, and even longtime friends. You are even encouraging crime by creating these products. All you hear about when the new iPhone comes out are people getting threatened, robbed, or killed for there iPhones, some even as they came out the stores. Also another example of how Apple is changing social structure is how simple it is to use them. My 3 year old nephew can use an iPad but he still doesn't know how to use the potty yet. He didn't learn how to use the potty but, he learned how to use an iPad! This is happening with almost all the children in society. It shouldn't be like that. Children should be focused on kid joys like the park or lunch instead; they want to be focused on coloring on the iPad with their finger. 

Like I stated earlier, your iProducts have changed the social structure. Please stop making these products? If you keep on doing so think about what is to come of society in 5 or 10 years. Will mothers have to talk to their children through a phone thinner than a piece of paper instead of sitting down and having a nice family dinner with them? Take all this into account as you design the next generation of iPhones, iPads, and iPods. Changing the social structure can have great affects but, I don't think you are contributing to the greatness aspect of change. Please consider what I am saying and contact me if you have anything to say. I am anxious to see what you think of this letter.

Thank You
