Essay / The evolution of the Macintosh computer over time
Introduction: Do you know how Apple was created? Is this really the case or do you just think you are? Apple or Mac is the same company. It was created by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Steve Jobs took care of the marketing and Steve Wozniak managed the technical part. In 1976, Steve Wozniak showed Steve Jobs the product called Apple 1, it was a revolutionary product that Steve Wozniak only wanted to sell to computer experts (programmers) and the government. But then Steve Jobs convinced Steve Wozniak to go sell it to Intel. This is why Apple uses Intel today. This was the birth of the Apple computer. Then when they made Apple 2, they made it a little more advanced and doubled most of the specs. Apple had a long history with multiple designs, there were different logos, different computer designs and even inspirations. Design Introduction: Apple (or “Mac”) is a very famous company, proud of its brand. It has gone through a whole history, with its logos, its inspirations and its designs. Steve Jobs, as we know, is one of the co-founders of Apple and we know that he took care of marketing, but he also managed the logos and designs of his products. Steve Jobs did not have all these ideas without inspiration. Inspirations: Steve Jobs was inspired by the architect of his house, Joseph Eichler. He inspired Steve Jobs because he had a simple design but yet looked rich and since his family was a poor family, they lived in a house that looked rich. Therefore, his designs looked very stylish and at the same time, they were inexpensive for what they offered. The architect inspired him not only for the design but also for the logo. But that wasn't his only inspiration, according to his biography, written in the middle of paper......much slower than in the past and that means people aren't buying Apple for what it offers, but they buy Apple because of its sleek design and name. This is what has made the Mac attractive throughout history.
