okay but, 1:18:43 almost brought a tear to my eye, me not realizing those checkered vans came out in the 80's

That's because easily marketable brain dead sheep have always been easy to sell to and in the same way.

@@jherrera3058 who hurt you

rip. Jobs was a marketing genius and a visionary.

@@davidpoland2313 I hope your family did alright

@@davidpoland2313 David, I understand you so well. MACs have always been expensive, never cheap. For this reason, AMIGAs were rightfully loved. Because they had everything, they were sold at reasonable prices. It could connect to the TV, it might sound strange, but that means a lot for the poor.

Wowing wish I was there! Of course I wasn't born at the time but it just feels amazing just reading your comment, surely a once in a lifetime experience.

Wow, awesome!!

Ppl in 2023: i dont want a career

It's great to be witnessing such a moment and realising it on the spot. May I ask you how exactly it affected your life, career, and any other aspects of it?

The greatest inventor ever is Steve Jobs

Same here 😁

They could have experienced this at Xerox Parc years before.

Yes, I've heard it a million times, I was in CS in the 80's and saw a lot of early GUI features that eventually made their way into mainstream OSes as well. Many of us are well aware of Xerox Parc's groundbreaking work. However, but to claim that there's nothing special about this moment, when the general public was brought into the world of computers, when they ceased being scary boxes with a black screen and flashing cursor, ignores what really happened to the world *at that moment*, and the army of people who contributed to it.

I absolutely loved watching that demo. It also reminded of watching people gasping at the first iPhone keynote when Steve showcased pinch to zoom and flick to scroll gestures. Apple with Jobs always had this magic about them. From Mac to Macbooks to iPod to iPhone. It’s this magic that Tim Cook’s Apple is missing (not his fault, it’s a tough act to follow Jobs).

@@bierundkippen720 here we go again with “xyz did it first”. No one is denying this. What Apple is good at is taking existing tech and implementing it in a way that makes sense and life easy for everyday customers. Multitouch technology did exist before the iPhone but not on a screen. Apple was the one that took that tech and integrated it with a display. Also touchscreen phones did exist before the iPhone but iPhone was revolutionary not because it did it first, but the execution was superb. So much so that it didn’t matter if the OS at that time was missing so many basic features like copy and paste.

@@PurushNahiMahaPurush Tim Cook does it better.

Quarantine and read.

Note how Apple back then had a good quality, innovative product... and didn’t feel the need to sell you “services” at all. Good times.

I noticed this too!!

yeah!!

Yoooooo!!

The most moment in software history

There was actually a ton of BS in this presentation. That demo machine wasn’t even the 128K. It was a prototype 512K. The 128K couldn’t do text-to-speech.

@@JoeDiamond110 Dude, Most companies do that. Apple must've suffered with some manufacturing problems, There are so many products from so many companies that deliver what they promised because of some issues. In 2007 iPhone event, it was a phone with a plastic screen but just after the event, they added a glass screen

@@kiran-thetributechannel Yes, but the Mac 512K came six months after they sold their first Macs. So yes, a lot of BS in that presentation. I remember, their first Mac-BASIC ran slower than Applesoft BASIC on their Apple][, which was driven by a 1 Mhz 8-bit processor. Quite some things on the first Macs ran totally in the wrong direction for the consumer (it was a closed system, for example). A lot of customers who made Apple big, were disappointed and ran away from Apple because of the Mac. When finally the Apple ][gs came out with amazing color graphics (and Apple's first OS with a color GUI), it was too late. The ][gs was too expensive and crippled down anyways.

@@kiran-thetributechannel Doesn't change Joe's point that the presentation was full of BS.

@@Persun_McPersonson - Well then apparently every presentation of products in development is BS. What a trivial issue.

Why?

​@@bierundkippen720 LOL, nice one little bro. You can acknowledge the endless flaws of Jobs while also absolutely recognizing how charismatic, influential, and forward-thinking he was. People aren't black-and-white, but enjoy your feeling of superiority by being the most basic-ass contrarian.

@@Aurora12488 "enjoy your feeling of superiority" Thanks. "how [...] forward-thinking he was" Well, he didn't even recognize the meaning of the app store. He didn't know what the iPhone meant for the future. What he wanted was to make a product which was superior to all other products. He pushed forward technology for the sake of technology, but he didn't know what it meant. He only realized it shortly before he died.

oooops

idk what 1984 of USA population looks like ?

Muhammad Ilham definitely more than 235

paper2222 not sure. Need proof

what does he mean by this?

that's EXACTLY what I was thinking as I saw how he explained the hard work behind and how revolutionary making things easy for the masses was and how he showed the graphs (wow they look CRISP!). And it's not only the keynotes! Notice how he focuses on servers, networking, UNIX - he had already planned how to build what eventually became OS X!

Xerz what eventually became NeXT and then OS X!

Not even confined to Apple keynotes, but keynotes in general as way for companies-usually big techs companies but not only-to showcase their new products. They're exactly doing the same today, even for video games! They go on and on and on about what you will acquire, making sure you think it's over-expensive only to announce a price, yet expensive, but you feel that it's okay. Anyway, check out other conferences, you'll see a lot in common!

Who even hates Steve Jobs 😂

Unless they didn't and that's just a remake of the presentations (beyond the fact that they're unnaturally high definition)

@@one_step_sideways I think they're making reference to the whole event, not only the slides

@@one_step_sideways No, those are what the slides looked like. There's nothing unnatural about the pictures being in high definition when you're viewing them on a computer with a high definition screen because they were likely contained in digital format and exported for this video. Also, the background projection itself was not in such terrible quality that the video of this conference makes everything out to be.

that's doesn't really sound innovative 😲

@@irixperson Exactly this.

and i woukd loke To say we also buyed many mouses of LapTops ....

He's claiming they are new features because this is a marketing event. People are so obsessed with giving Steve Jobs credit for things he didn't do lol

Ya but his talent was spotting in what ways it could be used. Xerox realeased first GUI with mouse in 1981.... and it failed...same with apple Lisa... it's Macintosh where the art was bigger than technical specifications

"What about OpenDoc?" "Yeah? What about it?"

Do you have iPhone 12 max pro?

And some random android fanboy will be triggered by this comment😂

Steve Jobs didn't invent the mouse, Xerox Park did and Steve visited them, made a deal, and copied elements of their OS (under a stock deal) and the mouse.

Yes and no... people almost always forget Lisa 1983. It was a Mac, kind of, but in another shape. Mac had a better design and a lower price. It all started with Lisa. It was too expensive. That was a big problem. The history: Jobs had a mission to develop two new computers: Lisa and Mac. Jobs believed most in Lisa. It all started before the Xerox PARC visit. Lisa and Mac was planned to have a command line interface like Apple II and MS-DOS. But after the Xerox PARC visit Jobs changed everything! Both Lisa and Mac must have that GUI and mouse and everything! The main difference between Mac and Lisa was that Mac could not run Lisa apps and vice versa. Apple rebranded a later Lisa into Mac XL with some Mac compatibility. Then they ended Lisa. But it all started with Lisa. Easy to forget Lisa. And why that black & white display? Why not color? Because black & white gave a higher resolution at that time. Even the first NeXT computers had black & white displays. Later on those color displays with good resolution popped up. This is why Mac became the leader in DTP, because of WYSIWYG. You couldn't have that on PC in 1984. So Aldus PageMaker came to Mac. Adobe bought Aldus some years later, ended PageMaker after a while and released InDesign. PageMaker was amazing! So much better than Word, WriteNow and all those apps if you wanted to create a magazine/newspaper. Crazy that the flrst Mac OS could fit into that 64 kB ROM! I've never ever used that first Mac 128k... wonder how many or few units of Mac 128k that still exist today and still working...

I had a crush on the hammer girl.

Yes

Saiyam I’m late to reply, but you’re spot on. What did they do through the late 80’s to mid 90’s other than charge exorbitant amounts to only piss money up the wall on “research” that never saw the light of day .

Initially priced at $1500 but Scully increased the price

Apple computers were cheaper than IBM PCs and they were more powerful , people do your research

@@valley_robot Cheaper than IBM's own PCs, yes, but in the mid to late 80s a large number of much cheaper IBM-compatible clones came to market, which made Apple's products look expensive by comparison. Around this time Microsoft was also producing the early versions of Windows. By the time Windows 3 came out in 1990 a similarly easy-to-use GUI experience was available for much lower cost on IBM compatibles, with a much wider range of available software. The Mac user interface was still second to none, and Macs found their niche in certain tasks, in particular Desktop Publishing using Quark Xpress, which was basically the industry standard though the 1990s. That alone is likely what kept Apple afloat in it's dismal period of lacklustre products in the early 1990s. (Until Steve came back in 1997 - everyone knows the story from there.)

So called "very unique and revolutionary GUI" was unscrupulously stolen from Xerox.

I wrote my PhD. thesis using Mac draw to draw graphics. In the end, I think that only the graphics got much attention!

@daitedve8581 No. Xerox let them have the technology but did not know what to do with it. Apple negotiated a deal with Xerox to acquire the technology for a certain amount of shares of Apple shares for Xerox. Apple improved the technology. They did not

@@daitedve1984Stone cold idiot, Xerox charge them to license their research! Get your facts straight meatball because those kind of accusations can get you used! 😂

Xerox Star released in 1981 the first GUI PC was a failure....so was Lisa...it's with Macintosh that things change

How small was the team?

and it can talk.

Watching on my 4th iPhone

He later said they would wait for the standards to take off. It did later

Jaden Rosencrans Time stamp?

Jorge Rosa Time stamp?

@@QuarioQuario54321 21:17

well because at the time it was IBM who made it and it's not that good. It was proprietary. He did say will wait for the standards

FIX IT

Most consumers couldn't afford the Mac at $2500, a mainstream price point he claims, so they continued to push Apple II simultaneously for $1400. No wonder Commodore sold more computers for home use than Apple & IBM combined, snatching over one third of the market in the process, if by 1984 they charged just $215 for it. So Mr Jobs acted like an elitist he was by saying there were just two milestones in the industry. Commodore did much more for the home computer market than those two.

In The Netherlands it cost 10,000 Dutch Guilders, which made it far too expensive for normal people. Only rich people or institutions/companies could afford it.

Wasn't the tiny screen bad to your eyes?

iMac and ipod did. It was gradual, by the time iPhone came around apple was more loved than ever. I think the iPhone is the last apple product. It wont be long before someone with vision like Steve, usurps the borefest that currently works for apple

Highly doubt it, Apple is making huge waves with its Apple silicon processors with more profits and credibility than ever

Yep hein sight is crazy man people back then said this was stupid but now it’s literally part of our everyday lives

Bill gates?

@@vimalcurio I was talking about Bill Atkinson, one of the amazing group of people who developed the original Macintosh. He talks in the Q&A section at 29:35 :-)

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. He nailed the interface. It's pretty much the same one used by every graphics program since.
