Thirty years ago today, Apple first introduced the Mac. From Apple’s front page:
Happy Birthday, Mac.
In 1984, Apple introduced the world to Macintosh.
It was designed to be so easy to use that people could actually use it.
And it came with a promise — that the power of technology taken from a few and put in the hands of everyone, could change the world.
That promise has been kept.
Today, we create, connect, share, and learn in ways that were unimaginable 30 years ago.
Imagine what we can accomplish in the next 30 years.
Inside the site, there’s a beautifully laid out timeline showcasing a variety of Mac highlights over the years.
And, perhaps my favorite, is this video:
That is very cool indeed. The time line is simply classy! The survey is very clever way to include your self in the Mac history. Well done Apple!
This slider that shows what people were using their Mac for is very informative. You can see clearly how the Mac is no longer relegated to graphic and video.
Apple publicly celebrating anniversaries… another indication that we’re definitely beyond the Jobs era.
