I don’t have enough time to finish everything, I’m serious. :( But anyway, no use talking about that. On with the show!
1984: Apple Macintosh. Steve Jobs was so confident the Macintosh would revolutionize the way we worked he launched a 100-day, $15 million ad blitz touting the Mac as “for the rest of us.” Later, the tagline became “Think Different.” In many ways, the Mac lived up to the hype — and influenced the competition. Its intuitive software, graphics and icons are now commonplaces in personal computing. It was also one of the first mainstream computers to include a mouse, helping popularize it as a pointing device.
My goodness it looks so…oldschool. I mean, when you say “Apple”, what first comes to my mind are the clean lines. I don’t even think about the fruit anymore haha. What I mean is that I always think about stuff like the iPOd, iMac, etc. But I actually still remember seeing one of these up close. I didn’t know that it was the first one to use a mouse though, I guess Apple has always been revolutionizing technology like this. It does today, it did back then. I like that pic btw, “hello.” Hee :D
