Steven Jobs helped to establish Apple Computer in 1976 in Cupertino, California. Jobs was the entrepreneurial spirit who bridged the gap between the circuitry and the public. He believed that computers were not destined to be confined in laboratories and developed a friendly image for Apple’s computers that appealed to the everyday person. He covered the machine in a light-colored plastic that was handsome and homey. Even the name Apple was selected for its friendly image. Apple’s small, attractive, inexpensive, and easy-to-use computers were an instant success. |
