The Queen – in 1952 and 2012

Queen's iPodIf you have been to the Treetops in Aberdare National Park in Kenya you know it is low-tech hotel where you are much more likely to see the Big 5 (lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard) than executives from the Big 4( Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Google). Queen Elizabeth was there on her honeymoon in 1952 when she got news she had ascended the throne.

This is in the Diamond Jubilee year of her coronation she is a fairly tech savvy 86 year old with iPads, iPods (supposedly a silver 6 gb Mini as in photo) and Macs.

And she has knighted Jonathan Ive, the Apple design guru. How much geekier can you get? :)
