Introduction- The Birth of a Brain Child
Apple, Inc. started out as an idea of one man. This man was Steve Jobs. Jobs and his friend,
Steve Wozniak, were two high school drop outs living in the Silicon Valley with extremely
innovative and intelligent minds (Santa Clara Historical Society, 2012). The pair teamed up, while
working for Hewlett Packard, to start Apple, Inc. from the basement of Jobs’ home (Santa Clara
Historical Society, 2012). The pair created the first Apple computer on April 1, 1976 (Santa Clara
Historical Society, 2012). The rest, as they say, is history. The creation of that first computer—and
subsequently the birth of Steve Jobs’ brain child-- is what started Jobs and Wozniak on the path that
has now revolutionized the way that many people all over the world use a computer, search the
internet, listen to music, and even talk on the phone. Apple, Inc. is the perfect example of how a
dream became a reality—one step at a time.
