Steve Jobs And The History Of Apple
Everyone knows about Steve Jobs and the history of Apple. Apple is a worldwide known business
that is arguably one of the most popular in the technology industry today. Things like the IPhone,
IPod, and Macbook are some of the most popular products but that is not where things started. Steve
Jobs was one of the entrepreneurs that started apple and is the most widely known. Things did not
always look so pretty however. Steve Jobs was a good friend of Steve Wozniak. They joined
together to create a computer. They were inspired to build something all people could afford. In the
article, "History of Apple, 1976–2016: The story of Steve Jobs and the company he founded" it says,

It was to really show the people around me, to boast, to be clever, to get acknowledgement for
having designed a very inexpensive computer'" (Rawlinson). This was all just to show people a
computer did not have to be expensive. It proved that computers could be affordable for all.
Wozniak was happy with what he had produced, although Jobs saw otherwise. "The Woz we know
now has a larger–than–life personality – he 's funded rock concerts and shimmied on Dancing with
the Stars – but, as he told the Sydney Morning Herald, 'I was shy and felt that I knew little about the
newest developments in computers.' He came close to ducking out altogether, and giving the Club a
miss. Let 's be thankful he didn 't. Jobs saw the computer, recognised its brilliance, and sold his VW
microbus to help fund its production. Wozniak sold his HP calculator, and together they founded
Apple Computer Inc on 1 April 1976" (Rawlinson). Thanks to Steve Jobs ability to see what was
there, Apple was founded and given the ability to what we see Apple is today. Although Apple does
make many profits, it has succeeded in its original company goal. Which is, as the article, "Steve
Jobs: An Extraordinary Career" states, 'We started out to get a computer in the hands of everyday
people, and we succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.'–Steve Jobs (Entrepreneur Staff)". This is one
of the reasons Apple is so successful. It created a product that

Steve Wozniak
Steve Wozniak was born in 1950 in San Jose, California. Woz grew up in Sunnyvale, California and
always enjoyed electronics as a kid, even making computer like projects in the fifth grade. Wozniak
became interested in electronics after he read a book about HAM radios. He built his own radio and
never stopped building his own electronics. He had friends on the street who were also interested in
electronics and they created wired house–to–house– intercoms to communicate with each other in

After realizing this, Wozniak and Jobs met at the Homebrew Computer Club where different
engineers exchanged ideas and inventions. It was here that Wozniak was inspired to design what
would eventually become the Apple I computer. After Woz showed the computer to Steve Jobs he
was amazed by its potential. Jobs wanted to produce the computer and market it as he believed it
would be a commercial success. It was at this time that the Apple Computer Company was officially
founded on April 1, 1976. Other than creating Apple, Wozniak has made other great contributions to
technology. After taking a leave from Apple in 1980, Woz went back to Berkley to earn a degree in
computer science. Due to his participation in the technology field, he has also earned Honorary
Doctorates in Engineering at 11 other universities worldwide. He returned to Apple in 1982 and
joined the development team working on the Apple II. Woz was motivated to work on the Apple II
by his desire to always innovate on his previous inventions, namely the Apple I. While working on
the Apple II, Woz developed a floppy disk system that replaced the cassette systems used by every
other personal computer at the time. Due to tensions within the team, Woz split off and began
working on another project which would eventually be called the Macintosh. The Macintosh had
several breakthrough features, all of which Wozniak had a part in developing. The Macintosh was

get otherwise. Telnet was not successful at selling its computer, so it closed in 1970 (Kendall 17).
However, his love and dedication towards computers would lead to the development of the first
Apple computer. In 1971, Steve and his friend Bill Hernandez designed a pretty good computer and
his mother was impressed. She contacted a local newspaper company to do a report on it. They were
very excited to explain the operation and specs to the reporter, but that is not how it happened.

Steve Jobs Abuse
Steve Jobs was an autocratic leader. He used abuse and threats to motivate Apple employees. Jobs
also made the larger decisions early in the company, by influencing others opinions. As well as
using his own personal vision for Apple products.
First of all Jobs abused employees to encourage them. He would yell obscenities that downgraded
his workers so that they would push themselves further. Debi Coleman, an Apple employee, was
often yelled at by Jobs during board meetings. His words were clear, she wasn't good enough and
neither was her work. Although the criticism was activating it still left the feeling of fear in his
workers, which many autocratic leaders leave with their people so that they follow orders.
Secondly, because, early in Apple history, Jobs would make the larger decisions and use
manipulation to have people agree with him. He had a way of using his charisma to make his own
way of thinking sound better than the opposition's, so that they would agree with him. For instance,
he convinced co–founder Steve Wozniak to start selling what was the first edition ... Show more

This resulted in engineers and other employees not having any say in the product they were
creating. For example, the engineers who created the first Macintosh had the inside layout so that it
gave the computer the best way to function. Jobs however, saw the inside of the Mac and ordered
that it be laid out in a more pleasing appearance. This request was thought ridiculous by the
engineers because no one was even going to see the inside of the computers anyways, but Jobs made
them redo the inside for his own aesthetic. This shows that he didn't allow a lot of freedom in Apple
and instead hovered over every detail of the Apple products, which didn't let any of the employees
have a relevant opinion on the product. That is the same as any autocratic leader making sure

Steve Wozniak's Journey to Creating Apple Computers Essay
Steve Wozniak was the kind of person who liked to tell jokes and pull pranks at the schools he
attended. During high school, he decided he wanted to become an engineer. He graduated with
honors from Homestead High School, California in 1968. He tried to convince his family to send
him to Colorado University for the engineering program, but his family encouraged him to go to a
nearby community college in California instead. After going to the community college to register
for classes, he found out that the calculus, physics, and chemistry classes he wanted to attend were
all full. So Steve went back to his parents to tell them the news, and they agreed to send him to
Colorado University for his first year of college. He was not a ... Show more content on

In 1971, he and his friend Bill Hernandez designed a pretty good computer and his mother was
impressed. She contacted a local newspaper company to do a report on it. They were very excited to
explain the operation and specs to the reporter, but that is not how it happened. When the reporter
came to see the computer, they started the computer up and the blinking lights came on. After that,
someone stepped on the power cord, which caused the computer to start smoking, and then stopped
working. He left quickly and only wrote a small article on it. Steve Wozniak decided it was time to
choose a school based on its engineering program. He chose to go to the University of California at
Berkeley, because it was one of the best. This is where he met the most important friend, Steve Jobs.
He was five years younger than Wozniak and still attending Homestead high school. But they had
many things in common, including the same first name, the love of pranks, and computers. Before
starting his fourth year of college, Steve Wozniak decided he needed to get a job again. He looked
through the newspaper and found a position as an electronics technician at Electroglass. His duty
was to test electronics equipment all day long. He loved the job, but found a better one through his

Apple not only wants to beat out its competitor with computers but also mobile devices. "They're
(Apple) happier selling 74.5 million iPhones" (James 3). Apple wants its customers to have a more
personal device and be able to use it and love it at the same time. The iPhone is they number one
most wanted device but many controversies may prohibit its advancement in the technological

assumptions about employees? Please provide specific examples that support your answer. Jobs

human being were spiritual beings. It is ones responsibility to find the inner spirit, be enlightened to
attain inner peace this enhanced personal growth. He believed that unless one did this, they would
be controlled by their circumstances, the situation in which they found themselves. One is able to
take control of their thought process and view of life. He realized "that an intuitive understanding
and consciousness was more significant than abstract thinking and intellectual logical analysis,"
(Issacson, 2011, p. 37). His trip to India magnified this perception as he realized that people in
Indian countryside did not use their intellect as those in the America, instead they used their
intuition. He considered intuition as more powerful than intellect. Steve Jobs early experiences at
his father's garage informed his attitude towards work. To him the key reasons for work were to get
money, adventure, it had to be interesting. He had an attitude that he could do anything, there was
nothing like no in his work vocabulary. What caught his eye while searching for his first jobs was

incorporated the company on January 3, 1977 in Cupertino, California. Apple, Inc. is responsible for
bringing to market such products as the Macintosh desktop and portable computer, iPod and iTunes,
and most recently, the iPhone. What many people may not know is that after founding Apple, Jobs
was fired by the company 's board of directors 10 years later at age 30. After his termination, he
went on to create two more companies. During this period Apple went through three different CEOs
and their stock price dropped to $2 a share. As a result, Jobs was invited back to join the company as
CEO. Not only did Jobs rejuvenate Apple but it flourished (Finkle & Mallin, 2010). Apple has over
66,000 employees in the United States, from engineers to retail employees, app developers,
suppliers and manufacturers.
Apple Inc. introduced the Macintosh in 1984 and sales did pretty well. In 1985 the sales didn't
match what had been planned and unfortunately didn't reach anywhere near what the goal was
which caused profitability issues. Steve Jobs and Apple hired many employees during their growth
over the first seven to eight years since created. They had one product and everyone was working to

He didn't only pay attention to what was in his products but what they looked like and what they
meant to his buyers. That is how he changed the world, not with what his products have in them, all
of the components of his products are the same as any other out there, but with how they look and
what they make easier in our lives. No one goes out and says oh I'm going to buy a MP3 player
that's only 29.00$, they're going to want to buy Apples iPod even if they have the same software.
When you buy an apple product you're not just buying the actual product your buying what the

Apple Inc, By Steve Wozniak And Ronald Wayne
Apple– Not the Fruit
Imagine a world without Apple, without iPods, without Macs; in the world we live in today that
seems almost impossible, but Apple did not get to where it stands today overnight, the company has
had its share of troubles. Apple Computers was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and
Ronald Wayne; together they donned the generation of affordable personal computers and was the
first step in the advancement of the major corporation known today as Apple Inc. Apple Inc. has
become a major competitor in sales despite being close to bankrupt many times because of their
technological advancement, knowledge of the consumer, and the development of a strong user
interface. Throughout the course of Apple's struggle the corporation has remained persistent in the
advancement of technology as we know it today.
It all started with a dream, to make a computer more personal, one computer for every one person;
and in this area Steve Jobs strived to be the best. He called on Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne to
start this venture into the vast world of computer sales; with Jobs' vast knowledge of physics they
made the first Apple Computer model, and the company was set off to a good start. Within the first 3
months of Apples beginning Wayne decided to sell his share of the company and becoming the
forgotten founder of Apple Computers. That left Jobs and Wozniak to take on the challenge of
advancing technology by themselves(Linzmayer 3,4). Jobs realized early in

Steve Jobs The Man Wo Thought Different By Karen Blumenthal
US In The World 2 Journal Reflection
This semester, I am reading Steve Jobs: The Man WHo Thought Different by Karen Blumenthal.
This book goes through the life story of Steve Jobs, Co–founder of Apple. A main focus of this book
is that Steve thought very weirdly. Mike Scott says in the book, "He likes to fly around like a
hummingbird at ninety miles per hour." (Blumenthal 81) When Jobs walked into the Atari offices
with the intent to get hired, he refused to leave until he was, and it worked. Steve Jobs thought and
worked in a way that would be extremely odd to most people, but it worked wonders for him. In
high school, Steve Jobs made friends with a man named Steve Wozniak. Wozniak was also very
much into technology, working at Hewlett–Packard

Apple is a worldwide known business that is arguably one of the most popular in the technology industry today. Things like the IPhone, IPod, and Macbook are some of the most popular products but that is not where things started. Steve Jobs was one of the entrepreneurs that started apple and is the most widely known. Things did not always look so pretty however. Steve Jobs was a good friend of Steve Wozniak. They joined together to create a computer. They were inspired to build something all people could afford.

This was all just to show people a computer did not have to be expensive. It proved that computers could be affordable for all. Wozniak was happy with what he had produced, although Jobs saw otherwise. "The Woz we know now has a larger–than–life personality – he 's funded rock concerts and shimmied on Dancing with the Stars – but, as he told the Sydney Morning Herald, 'I was shy and felt that I knew little about the newest developments in computers.' He came close to ducking out altogether, and giving the Club a miss. Let 's be thankful he didn 't. Jobs saw the computer, recognised its brilliance, and sold his VW microbus to help fund its production. Wozniak sold his HP calculator, and together they founded Apple Computer Inc on 1 April 1976" (Rawlinson). Thanks to Steve Jobs ability to see what was there, Apple was founded and given the ability to what we see Apple is today. Although Apple does make many profits, it has succeeded in its original company goal. Which is, as the article, "Steve Jobs: An Extraordinary Career" states, 'We started out to get a computer in the hands of everyday people, and we succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.'–Steve Jobs (Entrepreneur Staff)".

He had friends on the street who were also interested in electronics and they created wired house–to–house– intercoms to communicate with each other in throughout middle and high school.

It was here that Wozniak was inspired to design what would eventually become the Apple I computer. After Woz showed the computer to Steve Jobs he was amazed by its potential. Jobs wanted to produce the computer and market it as he believed it would be a commercial success. It was at this time that the Apple Computer Company was officially founded on April 1, 1976. Other than creating Apple, Wozniak has made other great contributions to technology. After taking a leave from Apple in 1980, Woz went back to Berkley to earn a degree in computer science. Due to his participation in the technology field, he has also earned Honorary Doctorates in Engineering at 11 other universities worldwide. He returned to Apple in 1982 and joined the development team working on the Apple II. Woz was motivated to work on the Apple II by his desire to always innovate on his previous inventions, namely the Apple I. While working on the Apple II, Woz developed a floppy disk system that replaced the cassette systems used by every other personal computer at the time. Due to tensions within the team, Woz split off and began working on another project which would eventually be called the Macintosh. The Macintosh had several breakthrough features, all of which Wozniak had a part in developing. The Macintosh was an all in one ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

One of the goals he achieved was finally finishing a device that hacks into phone lines to make free long–distance calls known as the blue box.
