For the last 44 years, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ron Wayne, Jobs colleague at Atari, they signed a document that started Apple. The first days and weeks were difficult and it took a long time for the company to leave, despite being one of the biggest companies in the world.
Of course you know A typical Apple startup story in the garage from Steve Jobs's parents, but the real Apple virus could have been discovered a few months earlier. Apple's origin, at least from concept, look at the day that Jobs and Wozniak made their first edition or even years earlier, in the first debate among its founders. Today we take a look at this little-known story of the first device made by Jobs and Wozniak and that led to Apple.
Apple's most important meeting
Apple was officially created in 1976, however it can be said that its origins are prehistoric. It all started a few years ago, in 1971 and I thank the stranger: Bill Fernandez. You may never have heard of it, but Bill is probably one of Apple's best defenders as he does something basic: inform two Steve
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, or Woz as he is commonly called, were not the same age, had been separated for 5 years. And by the time they met these differences were very important, Jobs was only 16 and Woz 21. Wozniak quit his education to earn a living and got a job with a computer company. There, a colleague gave him some different chips they didn't use and he decided to make a small computer with them.
Bill Fernandez was a Wozniak resident, he was still studying at the Heestead Institute but had a similar love for computers. Combining their love, chip and Bill's garage started a computer project. When they finish the equipment,
"His name is Steve, he loves playing pranks and building electric gadgets," Bill Fernandez.
At the launch, Jobson and Woz were sitting outside talking outside of Bill's house for hours on the sidewalk. That can happen one of the most important conventions in the history of technology. They talked about everything they loved most: comedy, technology, music and design.
Woz later said that Steve was one of the few people who understood his makeup. They also interacted with many hobbies, especially comics. They have made several of them together and some have resulted in Jobos being expelled for several days at the center.
The blue box
This combination of humor and technology is what gave you life in what can be considered the first tool they created together: a blue box. The well-known “shooter” of this era has found that the waves of telephone redirects, in other words, can drive long distances as if they were local.
As soon as the two Steves knew about it, they started their plan, bought everything they needed, too they built a box capable of fooling the telephone company. It was a whole game until Jobs came up with the idea of selling and making money. This organization was the pillar on which Apple was to be born some years later.
"If it weren't for the blue boxes, Apple wouldn't have," Steve Jobs said.
The Apple we all know was born on April 1, 1976. About a year before Woz discovered one of the most important gems in computer history, finding that after pressing a book on the keyboard appeared on the screen. This took Wozniak several months of work selling soldering chips and handwriting the code. He taught Job that he does nothing surprise and ask about possible developmentsHe even discovered computer enhancements.
After this Woz and Jobs showcased their computer at the famous Clubbrew Club, a place where all computer enthusiasts share ideas. The works were not too kind to share his creations so convinced Woz that they could earn some money if they sold the plates themselves together.
That was when came up with the idea of starting their own company. At the time they had no big plans for the future, but the idea of owning their own company seemed appealing to them.
“Even if we lose money, we will have our own companies. As long as in life we will have a company ”, says Job a Woz.
The On April 1, 1976, the company's values were introduced that today we all know and Apple was officially born, however its true origin, as we have told you, may have been discovered before. The friendship and love of two perfectly matched friends led to one of the largest technology companies ever.
