24th January 1984 – A day that changed the world forever
On January 24th
Apple Computer’s will introduce
Macintosh
And you’ll see why 1984
won’t be like “1984″
When you think back to days that changed the world forever, you might think about the formation of the USA, Presidents being murdered, governments being formed and fallen, wars lost and won, but very little people would describe 24th January 1984 as a day that changed the world – but it was ! In more ways than you may know.
It was the day the Macintosh hit the shelves, the very first main stream personal computer a computer that could potentially be in EVERY home and computer that would be affordable and allow you to work and play from home.
Fantastic. On the 24th January 2009 – 25 years later I sit in my house with a phone constantly connected to the internet, A laptop computer I can take anywhere and a TV connected to the internet which I can use to watch any TV show every aired. I can work from home and communicate with people from all around the globe in real time. I can access pretty much any piece of information I want with seconds and all this would not have been possible if not for the Apple Macintosh !
People think that Bill Gate’s changed the world – but if not for Apple he would not have even had the idea !
