Blog 1:At $400 billion, Apple is worth more than Greece


     These days, it’s hard to come by someone who has never heard of Apple, let alone not have one of their products. Apple products are wildly popular all over the world, so it comes as no surprise that Apple's value stock rose to a record high of $400 billion on Thursday. Apple is not only huge in the United States, but in countries all over the world. Already being known as the world's most valuable technology company, Apple's market cap is higher than the gross domestic product of countries like Greece, Austria, Argentina, and South Africa. Unsurprisingly, Apple topped CNNMoney's survey of technology analysts about the best tech company to invest in for the future. From the launch of the iPod to the iPhone, iPad and line of Mac computers, Apple's growth is a stunning achievement for a company that is only 35 years old. 
      Being an owner of a couple Apple products, I can say that their products will only continue to grow and get better and better. If they maintain to make such phenomenal, in demand products they will definitely continue to be one of the worlds fastest growing companies. Apple has in a sense brought the world closer together with their top of the line products, and shocking the world with every new creation they come out with. Their latest incentive is to reinvent the textbook and make it assessable through the iPad as an e-textbook. With inventions like these, Apple will definitely impact the world and save some trees at the same time.
