Ever since I can remember. I've been fascinated by the shape and look of objects. In r opinion, Apple Inc. is the number one company in the wort for product design. In the time that "you're reading this article, around 750 iPhone ‘and 300 iPads will b sold internationally. These iconic devices ‘onerate millions of pounds a day for Apple, and the man behind ther iconic look is known as a ‘design genius’. n 2013, Time Magazin listed him as one of the 100 most influential people in the word, but can you name him? If you said Steve Jobs, you'd be wrong, although it was Jobs who first recognised this man's talent. His name is Jony We. Born in London, Jony lve studied industrial design at Newcastle Polytechnic. After graduating, *he helped set up the London design agency Tangerine. In 1992, while the was working at Tangerine, he accepted a job offer trom Apple His frst years inthe job were tough and the design work wasn't very interesting. The company was also struggling to make money. However, when Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997 and saw the design work that Ive “had produced, he immediately recognised Ive's ability and promoted him. ve's first success in his new role was the design of the original, colourful iMac in 1998, which was quickly folowed by the first iPod in 2001. Thanks to lve's simple, elegant designs, Apple became one of the most successful companies in the world Since then, She has been responsible for the iPhone, Pad land Apple Watch. Ive's design involves not only the way these products look but also the way they work. °He believes devices have to be both beautiful and practical, ony Ive's key contribution to Apple is now being recognised and he has received numerous ‘awards. There is no doubt that Steve Jobs was a larger-than-life ideas man and businessman who ‘created a hugely successful company. However, without Jony lve's design talent, Apple may not have become such a huge success, ‘So what have | learnt from Jony ive? That the best designs are often the simplest. > Who do you think is Jony Ive or Joan Ganz Cooney 1ore inspiring, 2 Why?THE WOMAN WHO REINVENTED e ®& CHILDREN’S TV e8 In the mid-1960s, Ganz Cooney was working as a producer of television documentary programmes in America. She realised television could play an important role in the education of pre- ‘schoo! chikiren. She researched this idea and, in 1967, she wrote fan outine for Sesame Street. Ganz Cooney presented her ideas to the TV channel she was working for atthe time. However, the channel rejected her proposal, saying that they thought she didn't have the right ‘experience to produce a TV programme for chitdren. As a result, ‘she set up Children's Television Workshop with a colleague, ‘and two years later they had managed to raise eight milion dollars to finance production. Even so, many people working in the television industry questioned her abilly to manage such a project. This was during the 1960s, when the industry was largely controled by men, At first, Ganz Cooney didn't want to fight to keep her role as the director of the production company and the producer of the programme. However her husband and a colleague encouraged her to do so, because they knew the project would fal without her involvement. This meant she became one ofthe fist female television executives in America In 1969, two years after her inal research, Sesame Street went con air, and today its stil going strong. However, Joan Ganz Cooney didn't stop there. She continued to take an intrest in early childhood education, and in 2007, she set up a centre to help improve children's digital iteracy. I eally admire the way she has {quietly got on with helping young children, She's not a household ‘name lke Big Bird, but she's had a huge impact on the ‘education of millons of children around the wert Piece een rats eto unit 1% GRAMMAR Review of tenses 4 Match the verbs 1-6 in bold in Apple's design genius with the tenses below. present simple ape past simple art a present past continuous By present oertect tinuous b Complete the sentences with the tenses in 2a, We use the: to refer to an event that takes place at ect time in the pa refer toa temporary event in pr or action that began in the 3 to refer toa st past and has continued unit now ly 4 torel to refer to an action that was in prog nen something else happened past action that occurred before 6 torofer to Underline examples of the six tenses in the cond text dB Now go to Grammar Focus on p.134 cle the Read the text about Nikola Tesla and correct words. {© Listen and check your answers.
