“We started out to get a computer in the hands of everyday people, and we succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.” — Steve Jobs.
Everybody knows Apple and almost everyone in the world owns an iPhone.
Steve Jobs started out as someone who had an interest in gadgetry and electronics; he continued to enhance his knowledge by being an intern at Hewlett-Packard after calling the company’s president, William Hewlett, to ask for parts for a school project.
He then met Steve Wozniak and the two later created the prototype Apple I (also known as Apple-1), a desktop computer they both built in Jobs’ parents’ garage.
This simple idea of wanting to create a computer for everyday people led to the creation of the iPod, iTunes, the revolutionary iPhone and the iPad, which is now dominating the globe.
