Activity 3: Apple vs Microsoft [6 points]
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are two big names in the field of digital technology. Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft while Steve Jobs was a co-founder of Apple. Both men are very creative and inventive. In fact, Steve Jobs invented the Apple computer, iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Sadly, he passed away in 2011.
Bill Gates, on the other hand, invented Microsoft software, like Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office. He is now one of the richest people in the world, and with his wife, Melinda, has created a charity called The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Both men worked in the same field (digital technology) and were seen as competitors or rivals. They are not the only rivals in the world. In fact, some of the most famous rivalries occur between sports teams. One example is the rivalry between the All Blacks and the Wallabies rugby teams.

Kia Ora Lukas,
ReplyDeleteWell done for sharing some well known rivalries. So which do you prefer, Pepsi or Coke? Apple devices or Microsoft devices? Do you support the Wallabies or the All Blacks? I definitely support the All Blacks but my boyfriend supports the Wallabies. I prefer to drink Coke if I having some soft drink. I have a mac laptop for all my school work but I also like my android phone.
