[Mac](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Mac-OS) fans are a devoted bunch, and apparently poet Gary Snyder counts himself among them. Snyder wrote a bit of Mac poetry that was featured in the [New York Times](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bric-house). Among other things, Snyder praises his Mac for sounding like a falcon, throwing him like a horse, and teaching him about impermanence and pain. This Mac poetry is no limerick.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Mac Poetry:** The trend of using poetry to express devotion to technology, specifically Macintosh.
- **Devoted Customer Base:** The trend of customers who develop emotional connections and loyalty to technology products.
- **Personification of Technology:** The trend of anthropomorphizing technology as if it has human-like traits and behaviors.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Technology:** Opportunities for technology companies to create stronger emotional connections with customers through creative and personal expressions of brand loyalty.
- **Arts and Culture:** Opportunities for artists and poets to create works that express the intersection of technology and human experience, thereby creating new forms of art.
- **Publishing:** Opportunities for publishers to create new platforms and outlets for non-traditional forms of writing and creative expression that incorporate technology.
