This thing seems to have gone under the mass media's radar, but Apple has turned into a medical instruments company in astonishing way.

I mean, the watch can alert you about this huge number of life-threatening diseases.

That was Veteran Tech journalist David Pogue, author of Apple the first 50 years.

I'm Motleyful, producer Mac Rear.

Pogue recently talked with Motleyful analyst Jason Moser about those 50 Years. I'm Motley Fool producer Matt Greer. Pogue recently talked with Motleyful

analyst Jason Moser about those 50 years, about Apple's history, Steve Jobs, the IMac, Tim Cook,

and, yes, about what the next chapter for Apple might look like. Enjoy.

David, thanks so much for being with us today.

I'm excited to talk with you about your new book, Apple, the first 50 years, and even talk

beyond that to get your insights on the company, where it's been, and where you think it may

be going. So my first question for you, I was looking at your website at Davidpogue.com, for those of you interested, go check it out. But one thing that really impressed me, it's the breadth of your library. I mean, the topics that you cover, from Apple to opera and even digital photography, it was just, it reminds me of my father. You seem like you're a renaissance man, a lot of different interests.

So what was it that inspired you to write Apple the first 50 years?

I mean, it's a natural topic because I've been covering Apple for 40 years, 40 of the 50 years.

I wrote for Macworld magazine. I was a columnist there for for 13 years. And then I became the tech

columnist for the New York Times, did that for 13 years covering Apple. And now I'm at CBS Sunday

morning, also covering Apple and technology. So the whole thing was my wife's idea. Actually,

she woke me up in the middle of one night, literally woke me up. She goes, Dave, Dave, wake up. I have the best idea for a book. I'm like, what? She's like, Apple's first 50 years. And I literally shut her down. I'm like, dude, you missed it. That's come and gone. And then in the morning, I looked it up and she was right. It was like two years away. Perfect time to research and write a book. But you know how when you have an idea in the middle of the night, when you're half asleep, you're not really sure if it's a good idea. So I called my editor at Simon Schuster and laid this idea on her. She's like, oh yeah, do that.

Well, most of the best stuff in my life has happened because of my wife, too, so I can certainly understand.
