Steve Wozniak has affected the world with his invention of Apple. The first Apple product was sold in 1976 and is now ranking in today as number four with the IPhone 7 on the list of “10 best smart phones in the US”. In discussions of Wozniak, a turning point was in 1976 when Wozniak and his partner Steve Jobs started Apple computers. I believe this point in time was important to me because I will be going and studying business, from then on Wozniak made Apple into a billion-dollar brand. The following points illustrate the importance of this turning point in time. Wozniak started not only his own products but his own business, he knew that people would always need phones and computers so upon inventing the apple I phones and laptops he made them smaller to accommodate for easier access, on top of all that he turned his own business into a billion-dollar company while. Reasons like this is what inspires me to start my own business.

"By the end of high school I had taught myself how to design computers and I practiced over and over," Wozniak said. "We talk about putting 10,000 hours into something to get very skilled and confident at it... I knew I would always have a job; I wouldn't even need college.” (Deffenbaugh). By being in your own business you create a job for yourself and others. If you create a business you don’t have to be worried about looking for jobs, you create jobs. Wozniak has become “Owner and CEO of his own business along with partners he plays a major role in Apple” (Elkind). Yes, he had help along the way and many difficulties but he reached his goals. He is an inspiration to me and many others who plan on going into business. I have learned things from Wozniak that I wouldn’t have known without researching him. He has set an example for people looking into building a business to look back to. This is why I feel he has changed the world for many

This company came to be known as Apple Computers which has become a global leader in Technology and cultural innovation.

Steve Jobs and his friend Wozniak started to create their very first computer, and it came out a lot better than what they thought it was going to be. With very little education, the first computer that came out was extraordinary. “It was the first single-board computer with built-in circuitry allowing for direct video interface, along with a central ROM, which allowed it to load programs from an external source” (“Steve P. Jobs”). Without the education that most people get, for someone who dropped out of college, Jobs created such a powerful computer without the knowledge that most people have. Jobs computer that he created along with his friend was so astonishing a second computer came out. “A year later, the Apple II was launched with a simple, compact design like the Apple I, plus a color monitor” (“Steve Paul Jobs”). The first computer that Jobs created was excellent enough to create a second one, which was also a superior computer. Even though Jobs dropped out of college, he was still intelligent enough to create one of the biggest companies in the world.

It was Steve Jobs who made Apple leave the garage and make leaps and bounds in the world of technology. Steve Wozniak made the first prototype, but it was Jobs who “saw the potential” in his computer and persuaded Wozniak to sell it (Peterson 106). Even though that first computer saw very little success, Jobs knew that Apple had potential and so released the Apple II. From the beginning Jobs knew what the consumers wanted, and where computers were going to take the world; he had a vision of the opportunities in technology and saw that Apple needed to move in a different direction. In 1984, one year before he left, Jobs finished the Macintosh computer system. He was pushed from his original computer design project, “the Lisa”, and then raced to release the Mac first, but the Lisa was released to the public first. Although the Lisa came out first, the Mac “[became] synonymous with Apple, mark[ing] a…revolution in…personal computing,” (Peterson 106).

Throughout his high school career, Jobs loved electronics. He was constantly wiring the house with speakers or building frequency counters with his Hewlett-Packard Explorers Club, a group of students who met weekly to learn about what HP was working on. One day the club members took a trip to see firsthand at what HP was developing at the time. That was the day Jobs saw his very first desktop computer (Walter Isaacson 16-17).

Though they were college dropouts, but they still achieved a lot of success in their own way. Steve was a very innovative man. As the English proverb goes by “ Have no fear of perfection - you will never reach it.” by Salvador Dali.

In 1979 Apple’s first product was introduced, people like it very much because of its simplicity and innovative ideas. Later on in year 1980, the company showed a tremendous performance, where its share rose by 32% (Messa, 1998). Similarly, Bill Gates was also like that, but just that Steve was in a company which makes hardware prod...
