- Guy Kawasaki
Guy Kawasaki , who was Apple's software evangelist, is passionate about the idea that products and services reach critical mass 'because mere mortals spread the word for you.' He also has noted that the people who developed the original Macintosh didn't really have any idea of what people would do with the machine-and thus how its users would influence its development. We're wired to create patterns, but that doesn't mean the first patterns are necessarily useful.
