Apple Computer - Week 1
Apple Computer has had a long history of technological inovation in computer hardware and software. They are now an icon in the mobile phone marketplace and are setting the standard for others to follow with the iPhone. Back in 1997 the company was a niche player in the computer marketplace and the stock was selling in the low $20's. The stock is now trading between $500-600 per share and Apple Computer now has the highest marketcap of all publicly traded companies. The technology industry can be fickle and the icons of the past have gone by the wayside, who knows if Apple will be able to maintain this status in the future.
This photo is part of the first week's theme of Icon for the 2013 Photo Challenge. Each week the Photo challenge website posts a theme for the week and they will recap some of their favorite images. I personally don't think this image is very strong, but when the word icon came to mind, I immediately thought of Apple Computer and the stock certificate I have framed.
