Apple was founded in the year of 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne. Before Apple was founded, Mr. Wozniak was an electronics based hacker.
On January 24th 1984, Steve Jobs gave a very emotional introduction of Macintosh to an incredibly hyped up audience which could best be described as “pandemonium”. Apple then became the first successful personal computer with a Graphical User Interface or GUI.
In 1984, Apple aired their first Super Bowl commercial which was conveniently titled “1984″.
