As I think about who I am in regards to the adoption of new products, I reflect on the iPhone. I have always been, or I should say always WAS, a Mac fan. Long ago I was trained at UCLA as a graphic designer, long before most people knew what a graphic designer was. This is when I was first hooked on the Mac brand. Over the years, as my career progressed, I moved more into true marketing, as a marketing product manager, and out of the purely creative element. My employers used primarily PCs, my personal Mac became obsolete and I then too, morphed into a solely PC-user. During this journey, I was routinely ridiculed by my family and friends for defending Macs so strongly. After fifteen years, I finally folded.
But then...
...iPhone came out! Now, Macs are "cool", well, at least to the masses and not just to the artists and graphic designers. So, as I ramble on, I'll try and go back to topic. Who am I? I think I fit into the "short-term extremely loyal early majority".
