Genius Pre-write/brainstorm

Last week in class we were given time to think of a person or object that we thought was incredibly creative or genius. Short and sweet, this is what I came up with:

iPod/Steve Jobs

·      Steve Jobs created Macintosh

·      Created a new, innovative way to use the computer

·      Computers are fast, clean, and easy to use

·      Created desktops and laptops with new technology

·      Eventually created the iPod, which continues to grow and improve today

·      Invention of the iPad

·      Tons of technologies made by Apple today: iPad, iPod, Apple TV, iMac, MacBooks, etc.

·      iPod is an Apple product

·      Music can be stored in a hand-held device

·      Thousands of songs can be kept in one place

·      The iPod is organized for you

·      The battery life is long

·      Listen to music as the soundtrack to your life

·      Playlists can be made to suit your mood

·      Product is simple and easy to use

·      Clean cut, straightforward

·      Organized into artists, songs, genres, etc.

Genius: creation of a product that is new and innovative that changes every day life and the ways people think and operate
