they'd be a "Mac" or a "PC"? Do you think Elizabeth Bennet would use a MacBook, or opt for a Dell? Would Dolores Haze, aka “Lolita” want the bubble-gum pink Sony Vaio? I think Pablo Picasso, Dorian Gray and Mercutio would go for the iMac. Benjamin Franklin would probably select a sensible, no-frills PC desktop that he would keep for a decade and continuously improve upon himself.
Of course, these are just my speculations, and the point of the question is to find out what you think. So, feel free to come up with your own list of historical figures and classic literary characters, and imagine whether they’d be a “PC” or a “Mac.” You can write about your favorite characters – literary or from film or television - instead of or in addition to the classic ones.
Bonus Questions:
1. What phone would the characters / historical figures use if they were alive today? For example, would Romeo and Juliet text each other from their iPhones?
2. What websites would they bookmark?
3. What image would they use for their desktop background?
4. If they had an iPhone or another phone with apps, which ones would they use the most?
5. What would their screen names and email addresses be?
6. If Leonardo Di Vinci invented his own brand of computers, what do you think he would call it?
7. What kind of computer do *you* use, and would you recommend it to college student?
Thanks in advance for your answers. I hope those of you celebrating Labor Day have a fabulous long weekend, and that everyone else is also happy and well. : )
