The way the author supports this idea with a quote the parent " If I talk to m parents about cars, they remember how everyone spent their weekends working on cars". Then compare this to the iPhone and iPad ,everyone works on them from a phone call all the way to this blog post being completed on my iPad. To even further support how desirable cars are the author brings in Mimi Sheller, director of Drexel university's Center for Mobilites Reaserch and Policy who quotes " Everybody wanted a car. Everybody wanted to drive." The author then states how cellphone apps used for carpooling have also been related to the decline in car usage. This directly relates to the iPhone and it's apps or applications and shows how versatile the phone is there is an app for anything, another reason the product is so popular. This also relates to cars as well because just like the phone during age where cars were popular specific things were made for the new product drive in fast food joints, drive in movie theaters, and Shopping malls.
Thilo Koslowski was not far off. Both the car and the iPhone are or we're popular, both hads things dedicated to them apps or drive ins, and there are also the fact that nearly everyone has one and how desirable they are. The comparison between the two is accurate both had there popularity and just like the Ford, Apples popularity has decreased after the realease of iPhone 5c.
