Each of the last five decades in technology was defined largely by the decisions of one of the major vendors: the 1970s by AT&T; the 80s by IBM; the 90s by Microsoft; and the 2000s by Apple. Google is the favorite for defining the 2010s, or teen decade — and that’s a good focus for discussion as we get ready for a battle royal this week between the company of the 2000s and the company of the 2010s. Another thing to consider: whether the company of the 90s can come back, or whether Sony will be the next Apple after Steve Jobs leaves.
When we compare sony to apple ,the first thing that comes to our mind is walkman vs ipod and after that nothing else.
and every one knows walkman came before ipods...........
what apple did is copied everything from sony and microsoft.
