Applers reminds me of Mercedes owners, when the world is run on Fords, Kia’s, and VW’s.
A tool is a tool. The thought of one’s ‘happiness’ being connected to an inanimate object?
I won’t even go there philosophically.
Did I say that I wanted a computer to be a means to an end rather than an end in itself? Yes I did. You still can't read. Look at all those PC guys forever tinkering with their computers.
And when one "object" provides you with a lot less hassles than another (inanimate) "object", then, yes, that automatically translates into a lot more "happiness" or satisfaction.
