APPLE'S $10,000 WATCH!!!

Apple has just released its top-of-the-line watch.  Its target: the luxury market.  Those who can afford to wear a high-priced gadget.

No mention is made of the six billion nine hundred ninety-nine million people on the planet who cannot afford it.  No mention is made of how such a watch will make a better world, end rampant poverty, or bring world peace.

I can think of many things this world needs more than another expensive gadget to show off to one's friends.  The Rolex is not enough?!

Companies that create and market such items have lost my business.  Period.

Instead of this, why not:

--End poverty,

--Cure debilitating and life-ending diseases,

--Mend our dysfunctional mental health system,

--Rethink and restructure our educational system,

--Disassemble our current U. S. Congress and reassemble it with people who actually understand diversity of opinion and the need for communication and compromise,

--Create products that will last,

--Provide equal and excellent healthcare to all,

--Pay a living wage to ALL,

--Create a People and Environmentally conscious world in lieu of a Money-driven world.

The world is filled with genius.  Apple is a fine example of a company that just keeps coming up with novel ideas and processes.   The only problem is, the goal seems to be:  stay one step of the competition.  Keep the stockholders and Wall Street happy.

This particular road is the road to Nowhere.  All giants fall eventually.

What if the world's focus was on collaboration with one's peers instead of competition? What if the end product was the creation of a wholesome and peaceful world?  What if money was ancillary and a healthy world primary?

What if, Apple?  What if?
