Apple just turned 40While many things have changed since the company's early days, it seems that questions about government spying are nothing new. ABC News today published images of an interview in which a very young Steve Jobs debate on how their computers work in the software 'Nightline' in an episode of 1981.

In addition to bringing out great mental metaphors, Jobs also talks about the best way to prevent the US government from spying on them, a theme that seems very timely in the aftermath of the battle of Apple vs. the FBI.
I think the best protection against something like this is to have an audience that reads a lot and writes (education), and in this case we are talking about computing, Jobs told host Ted Koppel. We have already reached about one in every 1.000 households in the United States, he said, adding that he expects the number to progressively increase in recent years.
While it is a rather ingenious trick to turn a question about the dangers of computing into a recommendation that people buy an apple computer. As current news within Apple that are at the bottom of the page, we are with the remarkable news about the confrontation of the privacy of the FBI vs. Apple.
Still, as Apple enters its fourth decade, You have to be very careful about privacy, in my personal opinion I think Apple has done very well without giving respite to FBI to unlock the terrorist's iPhone, as I think it could have led to more iPhones being unlocked. What do you think?.
