Hello everyone. I am Megan, and this is the first blog I have ever written. This week in class, we talked about the company Apple and the impact that it had on how computers evolved. Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs were the founders of Apple. First, Apple came out with the Apple I in 1976. The Apple I sold for $666.66, which at the time, wasn't too cheap. The Apple I was on the market until 1977, when it was taken off and replaced by the Apple II. The Apple I was different than others like it because it had the built-in computer terminal which made using it so much easier. This computer paved the way for Apple's dominance for quite some time.
Shortly after the Apple I, the Apple II computer was on the market. The Apple II was such a success because of its expandability. The graphics on the Apple II were better than many had ever seen before. I think that it is so amazing that one company was able to dominate so profusely over other companies in advances. The Apple II also led way to the complete Apple series including Apple II Plus and many other products. These products were sold until about 1993 when it was replaced by the Macintosh, which really led to all of the Apple products available today.
I think that what the Apple company did was amazing. The creators, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs were able to make this one of the most known companies of our generation. Almost everyone has an i-pod, i-phone, or a Mac these days. Even if you don't own one, when someone mentions an i-pod or a Mac, you know who made it. They were able to help take us from one century to another with all of the new technology that they helped create. Without the Apple Inc, our advances in technology probably would have taken longer and we would not be the same.

The closing paragraph really illustrates this concept of an iconic Apple. Looking back at pictures from the 50s, you might see an old diner. It's strange to think about Apple being old in memory and an image of an American technological frontier.
ReplyDeleteHi Megan, I know many people use Apple computer, but I am a little confused the reason that why this type of computer is so popular. Is the reason that it has refined appearance or its good function? Someone told me because the Apple computer has a very good quality and I have to say that the Apple Company is great. After all, Apple has become famous brand.
ReplyDeleteHi Megan, my name is Spencer and I wanted to comment on your Blog because I liked what you said about The Apple Co. It is true, just about everyone in the world has an IPod, IPhone, or a Mac computer. It is incredible to think about how far the Apple Computer has come. And it appears that they have not changed their expensive prices since the old days either. Best of luck to you this semester Megan.
