Temat: "Remembering Steve Jobs"in LingApp.

Steve Jobs is perfect example of power of marketing; how marketing skills surpass any other.
Though first computer was built by Steve Wozniak, born in 1950, guided by his father of Polish roots, an engineer for Lockheed, not by Steve Jobs, hardly anybody acknowledge it. Jobs' computer skills were acquired from Wozniak.

In the early days of computing Wozniak, or "Woz" as he is more popularly known, embodied a new way of thinking, far removed from the world of mainframes and minicomputers that dominated the industry back then. He envisaged the computer could play a part in the lives of the average householder, and that a new era of more personal computing was on its way.

In 1975, when personal computers came in kit form and resembled nothing more than a rectangular box with some switches and a few wires, Woz was already thinking in terms of video displays and keyboards. It was during his involvement with the Home Brew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California, that Woz designed and built what would be the Apple I computer. His friend Steve Jobs saw its commercial potential and together they formed Apple Computers, initially selling around 600 Apple Is at a price of $666 each.

Woz in 1977, single handedly designed and built the Apple II. The subsequent success of the Apple II sparked the beginning of the personal computer industry and allowed a new generation of computing to emerge. Woz's ideas have influenced the way we live today, and thanks to him we have a world of information at our fingertips.

It is interesting in Woz career, that he developed the "blue box", an illegal device which allowed it's user to make free long distance calls.
