vision and legacy of Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs was a product of circumstance; an unwanted child given up for adoption, setting up a computer company with another Steve - Steve Wozniak. With a deep understanding of what people wanted, he helped transform ideas into products that have and will continue to impact our world in a major way. Apple products are being used all around the world by people of all ages and cultures for communication, entertainment, e-commerce, and other things.

Imagine a world without mice.
Well, it wouldn't just be the cats that would get bored - just think, how would you move the cursor? "David M. Kelley and Dean Hovey had come to pitch Steve Jobs some ideas. But before they could get started, Jobs interrupted them. 'Stop, Dean', Hovey recalls Jobs saying. 'What you guys need to do, what we need to do together, is build a mouse.' Jobs wanted them to copy technology developed by some of Silicon Valley’s greatest minds, make it user-friendly and reliable and still keep it affordable to be used widely." -Stanford Magazine, Alex Pang And that is how, my dear website reader, the mouse was developed to become an indispensable household electronic vermin. |
