The Apple Angle
I admire Apple — the company, the vision, the attitude, the possibilities, the man.
Let’s take a look at the man behind Apple.
Steve Jobs was born 1955 Los Altos CA. Steve was an evangelic bad boy who, with Steve Wozniak, co-founded Apple Computer Corporation and became a multimillionaire before the age of 30.
Steve Jobs innovative idea of a personel computer led him into revolutionizing the computer hardware and software industry. When Steve Jobs was twenty one, he and a friend, Wozniak, built a personel computer called the Apple. The Apple changed people’s idea of a computer from a gigantic and inscrutable mass of vacuum tubes only used by big business and the government to a small box used by ordinary people.
No company has done more to democratize the computer and make it user-friendly than Apple Computer Inc. Jobs software development for the Macintosh re-introduced windows interface and mouse technology which set a standard for all applications interface in software.
This is how history was written by Steve Jobs and his team.
Jobs has been criticized as America’s roughest, toughest, most intimidating bosses. At the same time, many colleagues describe Jobs as a brilliant man who can be a great motivater and positively charming.
What’s his secret? Jobs kept his troops fascinated and productive. The joke going around said that Jobs had a ‘reality distortion field’ surrounding him. He’d say something, and the kids in the Macintosh division would find themselves replying ‘Drink poison Kool-Aid? Yeah, that makes sense’.
