Statement for Assignment 4

For assignment 4 San Jose in 20 years. There will be more apple products like electric/solar-power cars, more and more people will start using apple devices. Apple as a company has grown into the largest company in the world. I really like their products because of the simplicity and well design. My ideas is that apple is getting more popular over the years and so in 20 years there will be more apple products on the street and devices for people to use.
