Well-known expert woerte·mosiboge digital product reviews (Walt Mossberg) 22 evaluation career is coming to an end in the Wall Street Journal, he published the last column today, recalling paragraph 12 of the last 20 years the most influential personal technology products, of which Apple has 5 items on the list.
Following are the main content of the article:
That's me in the Wall Street Journal, 22 consumer electronics product reviews careers last post column. So I want to talk about the past 20 years I review the 12 most influential personal technology products.
Most of these are popular products, there are few and not all the rage, there is a financial failure. I have two main criteria for selection.
First, the product must be compared with other products in the ease of upgrading can bring added value to the average consumer.
Secondly, I chose the 12 products because they changed the course of the development of digital history, whether it is by influencing the subsequent products and services, or by changing the way people live and work. Influence of some of these popular products are still spreading. All of these products is not a new category, but all of them without exception, succeeded in their category to a new height.
Some readers complain that Apple wins too much. My answer is: more than 20 years, Apple brought influential breakthrough products to consumers more than any other company.
1. Newton MessagePad (1993)
This app from Apple's handheld is a flop, or even become a laughing stock, mainly because the company claims that it can recognize your handwriting correctly. This device actually do not. But it had a feature heralded part of the cutting edge of science and technology: an early form of artificial intelligence. Newton MessagePad says "eat lunch with Linda Rashida Jones on Thursday", it will automatically create the correct calendar entry time and characters.
2. Netscape Navigator (1994)
Netscape Navigator was the first described as a successful Internet browser , but then was overwhelmed by Microsoft's Internet Explorer. But is it makes networking a reality for millions of people, and its impact incalculable. Each time you open a Web page, you'll see Netscape's "heritage" are still in play.
3. Windows 95 (1995)
The Microsoft operating system graphical user interface and mouse became the mainstream of computer operation. Although Apple Macintosh using the graphical interface for ten years before, there are several coarser version of Windows to follow it, but it was not until Windows 95 graphical interface is a great improvement on its popularity far exceeded the Mac.
4. Palm Pilot (1997)
Palm Pilot personal digital assistant is the first successful, widely used and is the first handheld. It has spawned the earliest smartphones one of the Treo, and attracted a large number of third party applications into, indicating large app store today.
5. Google search (1998)
From the beginning, Google's search engines much more quickly than before, and more accurate. Cannot emphasize the importance of it too much, even today. In many ways, Google promoted the development of the Internet as a whole.
6. iPod (2001)
Apple's iPod is the first mainstream digital media player. Its volume and playing card box can hold 1000 songs. The beleaguered computer maker to a whole new level, and gave birth to the highly successful iTunes store, and a series of popular mobile devices.
7. Facebook (2004)
If Netscape opens online world, so Facebook is turning the Internet into the social media. It existed prior to the birth of some of the earliest social networking. But Facebook is the preferred social networking platform where you can share it with some friends, or tens of thousands of people from sunset photos to all things baby news. Today, more than 1 billion people worldwide use the Facebook service, it changed the whole concept of the Internet.
8. Twitter (2006)
Twitter is often seen as Facebook's chief rival, but it's a little different--a taste of the kind of global Instant Messaging System. Every minute is dedicated to providing audiences with information from revolution to all kinds of interesting posts, or just being used to express ideas on almost all topics in less than 140 characters – as long as the input. As the Facebook,Twitter has changed the digital life.
9. iPhone (2007)
Apple stunned by virtue of the product throughout the technology industry. IPhone is the first true Smartphone. It combines iPod, network equipment and mobile phone functionality. Its revolutionary multi touch-screen user interface is a lot of alternative PC graphical user interface on a device.
One year after launch, Apple launched the App Store app store for it. App Store that allows third party developers selling iPhone applications. It now stores the number of applications has exceeded 1 million. IPhone has thrown many competitors to follow up, so common to the Internet from a PC-centric system into the mobile-centric system.
10. Android (2008)
After the iPhone to create the mobile industry, Google Android system is rapidly advancing. The system has now spread to a large number of manufacturers of mobile phone products. It's dominance in the Smartphone market, also has a lot of choices.
IPhone is still relatively expensive, and much cheaper, most mobile phones Android-driven.
11. MacBook Air (2008)
2008 Conference, the late co-founder of Apple Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs) from a standard manila envelope and take out the iconic thin notebook. It was one of the first solid-state memory instead of a hard drive of your computer. MacBook Air is now everywhere, whether in the Office, campus, or in the cafe. It has spawned a large number of Windows-based super pole . I think the MacBook Air is the best notebook ever.
12. iPad (2010)
With this 10-inch Tablet , declining category before Apple finally cracked the secrets of. IPad and other tablet computers are gradually replaced on the many uses for portable computers, has received a broad welcome, from children to the corporate CEO. Developers nearly 500,000 apps developed specifically for iPad, the figure is much higher than other tablets.
莫博士：近20年最具影响力的12款科技产品 - iPhone,iPad,MacBook Air,iPod,Android,Windows 95,谷歌搜索 - IT资讯莫博士：近20年最具影响力的12款科技产品
知名数码产品评测专家沃尔特·莫斯伯格（Walt Mossberg）即将结束其在华尔街日报22年的评测生涯，他今天发布最后一篇专栏文章，回顾过去20年最具影响力的12款个人科技产品，其中苹果有5款产品上榜。
以下是该文章的主要内容：
这是我在华尔街日报22年消费电子产品评测生涯的最后一篇专栏文章。所以我想谈一下过去二十年我评测过的最具影响力的12款个人科技产品。
其中多数都是热门产品，有几款并没风靡一时，还有一款在财务上是款失败产品。我有两个主要评选标准。
首先，产品必须在易用性上较其它产品有提升，能为普通消费者带来附加价值。
其次，我选择这12款产品是因为它们都改变了数字历史的发展进程，不管是通过影响后来的产品服务，还是通过改变人们的生活工作方式。其中的一些大众产品的影响力仍旧在蔓延。所有这些产品都不是新创品类，但它们都无一例外成功地将其所在的品类提升到新的高度。
一些读者可能会抱怨苹果入选产品过多。我的回答是：这二十多年来苹果为普通消费者带来的富有影响力的突破性产品比其它任何一家公司都要多。
这款来自苹果的掌上电脑是一败笔，甚至成了人们的笑柄，主要是因为该公司宣称它能够准确无误地识别手写字。实际上该设备做不到。但它有一项功能预示部分时下最前沿的科技：人工智能的早期形态。在Newton MessagePad上写“周四与琳达·琼斯吃午餐”，它就会自动创建出时间和人物都正确的日历条目。
Netscape Navigator是第一款称得上成功的网络浏览器，但后来被微软的Internet Explorer压垮。不过是它让网络成为了数百万人的现实，其影响力不可估量。每次打开网页，你都会看到Netscape的“遗产”仍在发挥作用。
这款微软操作系统让图形用户界面和鼠标成为了主流的电脑操作方式。虽然苹果Macintosh此前使用图形界面已有十年，也有数款较粗糙的Windows版本效仿它，但直到Windows 95图形界面才有了很大的改良，它在普及度上也远远超过Mac。
Palm Pilot是首款成功的个人数字助手，也是首款被广泛使用的掌上电脑。它催生了最早期的智能手机之一the Treo，且吸引了大量的第三方应用进驻，预示当下庞大的应用商店。
5.谷歌搜索（1998）
从一开始谷歌就比之前的搜索引擎快速得多，且准确得多。再怎么强调它的重要性也不为过，即便是在今天。在许多方面，谷歌搜索推动了整个互联网的发展。
苹果iPod是首款主流数字媒体播放器。其体积与扑克牌盒子差不多，能够装下1000首歌曲。它将该处于困境的电脑厂商提升到新的台阶，且催生了极其成功的iTunes商店和一连串的流行移动设备。
如果说Netscape打开了网络世界，那么Facebook就是将互联网变成了社交媒介。在它诞生之前已经存在一些早期的社交网络。但Facebook才是人们首选的社交网络平台，在上面你可以跟一些朋友或者成千上万人分享从日落照片到孩子出生消息的一切事情。如今，全球超过10亿人在使用Facebook的服务，它改变了互联网的整个概念。
Twitter常常为视作是Facebook的主要竞争对手，但它有些不一样——某种全球性即时通讯系统的味道。它每分每秒都被用作向受众提供从革命到趣味帖子的各种各样的信息，或者只是被用来就几乎一切的话题发表想法——只要输入内容在140个字以内。正如Facebook，Twitter也改变了人们的数字生活。
苹果凭借这款产品震惊整个科技行业。iPhone是首款真正意义上的智能手机。它融合了iPod、网络设备和手机的功能。其革命性的多点触屏用户界面正在很多设备上替代PC的图形用户界面。
推出一年后，苹果就为它推出了App Store应用商店。App Store允许第三方开发者销售iPhone应用。如今该商店的应用数量已经突破100万。iPhone引发了众多竞争对手的跟进，从而共同将互联网从以PC为中心的体系推向移动为中心的体系。
在iPhone创造出移动行业后，谷歌通过Android系统迅速挺进其中。该系统现已普及至大量厂商的手机产品当中。它在智能手机市场占据统治地位，也拥有大量的应用选择。
iPhone仍然相对较贵，而Android驱动的很多手机则便宜得多。
在2008年的发布会上，苹果已故联合创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯（Steve Jobs）从一标准的马尼拉纸大信封拿出这一款标志性的轻薄笔记本。它是首批用固态存储器代替硬盘的计算机之一。MacBook Air如今随处可见，不管是在办公室、校园还是咖啡厅里。它催生了一大批基于Windows的超极本。我认为MacBook Air是有史以来最好的一款笔记本。
凭借这款10英寸平板电脑，苹果终于破解了该之前日渐衰落的品类的成功奥秘。iPad跟其它的平板电脑正在很多用途上逐渐取代笔记本电脑，受到广泛的欢迎，从小孩到企业CEO。开发者为iPad专门开发了近50万款应用，该数字要远远高于其它的平板电脑。
