creator, who was the co-founder, chairman, and president of Apple. Apple has been manufacturing computers since 1976. It was the first company ever to make a serious persona computer. In 1984, apple introduced its most famous product, the Macintosh. With its bright, graphic screen display, complete with windows, icons, menus and mouse pointer, it completely changed the way people could work with computers.

McCarthy developed the concept of computer time-sharing, which allows several people to use a single, central, computer at the same time. If this approach should be implemented, he claimed in 1961, “Computing may someday be organised as a public utility”. The concept of time-sharing has been made possible by the development of

They marketed it at a price of $666.00 in 1976. The Apple I was the first computer with one board. It had a built in video interface, on board ROM-which told the machine hold to load programs from an external source. Jobs and Wozniak managed $774,000.00 in sales from the Apple I.

He was among the first to recognize the vast commercial potential of the graphical user interface, the mouse-driven point-and-click system that pilots virtually every desktop computer today. After high school, Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Lacking direction, he dropped out of college after six months and spent the next 18 months dropping in on creative classes.

who possessed charisma, determination, and stubbornness to advance the field of computer science. His desire to create products that are simple, reliable, and consumer friendly, led to the creation of Apple. He was one of the pioneers of microcomputers, which increased the versatility of computers yet keeping the processing power of larger computer.

Jobs contributed to the team by assembling the needed materials for the competition by collecting sufficient funds and help meet that would promote Wozniak’s creation, “Jobs began to accompany Wozniak to Homebrew meetings, carrying the TV monitor and helping to set up things. The meeting now attracted one hundred enthusiasts and had been been moved to
