One day people will laugh at todays computers. Show some respect
your right. ppl stupid
my high school had Mac computers in black check the brothers had a Mac computer is there any other movies that have Mac computers in them?

Look at Gates when he was juts a poor millionaire.
@@DromeG60 shut up poor kid he was a millionaire at that time.
@@nativetube No he was cleaning windows at that time for food.
Where is the life in the life you lead you are the poor millionaire 🎵🎶🎧
He never looked rich, like jeff bezos. Money doesn't change your face
Money changes everything. Especially your face.
Being born in the '70s and growing up in the '80s and in college as an adult in the 90's, watching all this unfold and seeing how far we've come over time is fantastic.
excellent!
Pretty mind blowing.
it still shouldnt be forgotten what a leap forward the macintosh was
Gates was 29 years old (depending on when this was filmed) and sitting at a desk as Microsoft’s chairman and spokesperson. Looks like a kid.
1984 : Looks younger than 29 years old.
2024 : Looks older than 69 years old.

Hey if a computer is small enough to be biked across town by a delicate lady --- then take my money
I still have mine... it's incredible she doesn't seem to struggle with the weight
"and if you want to travel, this Refrigerator can easily go along..."
that was the YETI 1.0 cooler
Maybe for this promo, it was just only case she was holding in that basket, and they rip off all electronics, so she doesn't cringe with it's heavy weight :)
"It only costs half as much as other computers"
When did apple start to forget about this ?
When they realised people will pay twice as much for their products.
Today’s Apple computers cost 10 less than back then
If you keep inflation in mind

Same thought. Actually that setting with a lady looks more copenhagenian than american.
Looks very dangerous. If she was in a collision (and let's face it, it's gonna happen pretty soon) the monitor would also be at risk of explosion.

overrated silly comment
I was born in '87. It's incredible how far technology went in 30 years. Witnessing the born of Internet, cellphones and to be able to experience that change was awesome, and brings a lot of nostalgia.
You are too young! You are born into technology. We are saw the born of technology, who born in the 70s. I was born in 1975. My first PC was an IBM PS/2 in 1987, before that I had a Commodore 64, a Zx Spectrum and a Videoton Computer (Videoton TVC). I saw the born of the Pc technology, you are only withnessed the rise of the technology. I first use intenet in 1994, I bought my first cellular in 1995. I bought my first digital camera in 1999. I used PDA in 2001, and now? I haven't got smartphone, not use facebook, I haven't got smartwatch, not using twitter etc... I saw the rise of technology and I saw enough to not use modern technology!

@@polipollyconsulting Being younger than you does not exclude the fact that I've gone through an electronic and computer revolution. Also, we are just 12 years apart, so how can you talk like you experienced so much more than me? You can't deny the fact that a lot of electronic and digital devices were MASSIFIED in the 80's and early 90's and that's what I was talking about. The massification of affordable personal devices was revolutionary.
@@polipollyconsultingI was born in 1968 when the first true computers were built by IBM and used by the US military during the Vietnam War. How do you think we sent the first me to the he moon in '69. You only experienced the ongoing development of computers first created in the 60's.

DataWaveTaGo And getting one hell of a work out lugging that phat-assintosh around.
why do you try to make jokes ? They were just trying to show its small size compared to its competitors.
Laptops were already around before this.
This is a 1984-85 ad. Epson's 1st "laptop" had a pathetic LCD display about the size of today's thumb drive. Kaypro or Osborne "laptops" were not very different in terms of portability. Our first machine was an Orborne Exec, which never had great after-sales because the company went bankrupt soon after launching it. For a tiny display about the size of iPhone 6s plus, no graphics, and only 124 kb RAM - a MACHINE weighing ~30 lbs was too heavy to be called a laptop.
i almost choked when the lady put the computer in the bag
I wish I could time travel to that moment with my quad core 64 bit phone in pocket. Can't imagine how many pretty ladies would have wanted to arrange a date! :D
Seinfeld used Mac computers!
She looked like a hot bitch biking that Mac down the street
Bill Belzek true
It looked heavy AF. She was straining. Lol
It's all an ever evolving process. It's good to look back at this. For me it's so nostalgic; it allows me to respect how far the computer industry has gone, and more than that, it gives me a wonderful feeling of how far it will go. The process goes on.
Indeed.
Until you, yourself, are a computer. Well actually you'll be long dead by then, but people in 2100 years will be. Pure conscious software, if they want to be.
A wonderful feeling ? It’s gone too far. Where do you think it’s going ? A world ever reliant on technology is a worrying future indeed. I just wish more people could see the reality before it’s too late. Artificial intelligence seems to be the ultimate goal and when that happens there is no going back. A dangerous world indeed. I will probably be long gone before it gets to that point.
Steve jobs coordinated the team behind it. It was a master piece. He was fired shortly after that for being an asshole. He never stopped being one.
1:45 Apple sells the numpad separately. Some things never change, do they?

a lot of us weren't even born before intel made pentium and the computers started to get crazy.
Brilliant. I love the scene, when she‘s stuffing the MacIntosh into something that looks like some sort of lunchbox and that’s assumed to be a suitable way to carry your computer with you. It‘s like the first ‚mobile phones’ that were actually phones built in cars. You put them out of the car and strapped them to your shoulders … 😀
Amazing journey since then, and a more amazing to come!

My first PC was a Packard Bell 286 with a 13" CGA color monitor (PC color monitors were uncommon in 1987). DOS was its OS. 1200 dollars and that was considered a grand deal at a time when the Mac was going for 3,000 dollars. I still hold fond memories for the machine and the related software , primitive as it were.
nobody asked you you privileged white
386 here, it was an IBM Ps2 lap top. Really really slow.
I had an 8088 Pc Clone with a monochome monitor. Upgraded it until the wheels fell off and bought a 486 dx 33 for around $1k. It had a whopping 80mb hard drive and then upgraded to a cd rom at a later date for a whopping $400.

Very strange how bicycles always stays the same.
Well they do change a bit and now u can have an electric bike
you'd think they'd change the design of the wheel at some point...lol
You'd think it would have more wheels by now
Today road bikes have a silly number of gears, making them more fragile.
Bicycles are near perfected machines. They're basically the absolute limit of efficiency for any human output of work. THAT is why bicycles don't change from it's past gear + 2 wheel design.
Physics limits what bicycles can become.
We have e-bikes, but those are it's own class between bikes and other motor-vehicles.
Was I the only one who burst out loud when the lady was biking down the road with her Mac in the bike basket with a car coming right up behind her? A sight we surely only saw on TV.
A bit like ET in the front basket on the BMX in ET :) One small pothole and she is going over!

1:18 That printer works faster than what I got today.
wow!
Where I was born in Chile we had a Panasonic dot matrix printer at home and it was slow on windows 3.11 printing on Microsoft Word 6.0. However my younger brother John when we came in Australia in April 2000 decided to use the same printer on the DOS program Edit and it worked really fast. The good thing about the dot matrix printers is that it uses pins and a band of ink that can be used to print in a second paper provided that between both papers are some carbon paper to make another copy of the first paper. It was really amazing. All by using pins to make the printing.
besides, the "Imagewriter" did text only in that mode
Hase that's correct because the program Edit was on DOS operating system. I hope that is what you meant.

I don't think so we have already slimmed computers to a paper sheet so what else can we expect only holograms are pending
I don't think so, we have reached maximum compression of transistor into a CPU. The huge advances in tech are just for pc gamers. -
@@luiscamacho1996 Not really. Most parts of the CPU can still get 100X smaller. That "3 nm" etc talk is mostly marketing.

Strider Mac Laptop
+Strider Thing is, if you look at "portable" computers of the time the Macintosh was as portable as they were despite not being really marketed that way.
Most computers back then weren't much bigger, the difference is the Macintosh had the whole computer in one piece with the monitor, most computers back then had the keyboard and monitor and tower as 3 separate pieces and so it wasn't very portable. But they had laptops already by then, and even the early Commodore PET was all in one piece, that was around 1978.
The most exciting thing is I'm still seeing those highlighted display inputs on nowadays computers.
it's great that they thought of connecting telephone to it and that you can add external hard drive or that it has an exclusive keyboard for numbers like what we see today on keyboards. this is so amazing
I miss those days when computer technology was intended to improve the world, not to control people with social media, etc..

Boy ! If only today's computer were a half of this !
The Mac changed my life. I was a graphic designer and everything we did was done by hand drawing and paper paste ups. All that vanished quickly in a few years. The funny thing is that there was another computer that smoked the Mac back then. It was the Amiga 500, it was full COLOR, you could write and produce digital music on it, do animation in color. It was far ahead of its time. What KILLED the Amiga 500 was the Star Trek movie about saving the whales. The movie company needed a small computer for one scene in the movie that would talk. The producers went to Amiga and asked for a computer to use in the scene. Amiga said sure BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY IT. Producers left, and Steve Jobs gave them one for FREE. Amazing how such a small thing destroyed a futuristic product for its time. The other thing that killed it is they failed to adopt Postscript. The death of the Amiga was very said and I remember the very last meeint of our Amiga club where we pirated software and had a good time.
Thank you for this information.
The Mac didn't talk in that movie.
@@TheLarryBrown Correct. But the point is that brief exposure in that movie MADE the Mac. Sales skyrocketed. The Amiga500, had they had the foresight to accept donating one for the movie, might have changed history.
@@davestephens8033 Holy oversimplification! I have no knowledge, but I highly doubt both your points. I don't see that movie having a tangible effect on Mac sales....let me look that up.....couldn't find anything one way or the other. What made the Mac successful was PostScript, LaserWriter, and PageMaker. According to the IMDB trivia page, Apple didn't give them the Mac, it loaned it to them. What kind of movie production balks at the purchase of an Amiga 500 with a sub $1000 price tag? Their budget for coffee would dwarf that. Mac was not a success anyway until later and was resurrected from doom by Jobs and NeXT. Per Wikipedia, Mac sold only 1 million units in the five year period from 1984 to 1989, whereas The Amiga 500 sold at least 4 times that, 4-5 million in the five years from 1987 to 1992, and that's just the 500, the 1000, and 2000 sales are on top of that, plus the 3000 to come. Lack of sales is not what killed the Amiga, a fact the numbers quoted support. If any one thing, like Postscript, could have saved the Amiga, the Video Toaster would certainly have saved it.
@@TheLarryBrown I lived this, its not something I read somewhere. I was part of of an Amiga user's group that met twice a month. When that movie came out, we saw the writing on the wall. WE were pissed that Amiga didn't give Hollywood a computer, it was a huge mistake on their part; 3 months later the group disbanded, Postscript was adopted by Apple and the Amiga died. Amiga didn't want to give the Star Trek guys a unit for the movie, we heard back THEN they demanded Jobs PAY for an Amiga 500, so the movie guys called Jobs up and they sure come on over we'll give you one to use. Amiga didn't adopt Postscript and probably Apple wouldn't have licensed them anyway. The Amiga was years ahead of its time, though, it was full color, you could scan artwork by using black and white security cameras using RGB filters in 3 scans then combined them. The first Laser printers were TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. The first inkjet printers were also $10,000. I got to use one because a friend worked at a place that bought one. The quality was amazing; these days you can get that same quality on any inkjet for $50. Of course Apple sales were low to start with, but I BOUGHT ONE and so did every graphic designer I knew did too. We knew this little Mac Plus was going to change the world, and I adopted them after my business neighbor bought one and showed me Postscript. Postscript was being used at that time by all the typesetters, it allowed us to set galley type ourselves instead of writing marked up text and having the typesetters do it. Thats what sold me. Photoshop came out very quickly and suddenly I could airbrush work on that little lunch box. Many of my designer friends were slow to get Macs and a lot of them went out of business. My wine label designer friends were threatened by having to learn to use computers and they either bought Macs or they went out of business. I lived onlly 35 miles from Apple, we were the first leading wave to embrace the future. Nobody in graphic design ever bought a Next computer, it was a huge failure. When the IIci came out, suddenly we had the ability to do our own color seperations instead of paying big bucks to a seperation house. I was friends with the owner of a color sep business and he taught me the right way to do color separations. The irony is that the IIci and the Mac Plus put all the typesetters and seperation houses out of business. We then had to use "service bureaus" to output film for press printing. PC users were banned from those businesses because PC files were a nightmare and PC people were incredibly ignorant. Eventually the service bureaus went out of business too. With the advent of modems, we were also able to upload our files to the service bureaus. Back then I remember staying up all night uploading a 15 megabyte file that took over 8 hours to upload, and me cringing because long uploads like that would often fail and the phone system would just drop out ;-) At one point we were scared to death that Apple was going out of business, so we bought a PC to be prepared for that. Both my wife and I couldn't believe how dumbed down PC's were and still are, poor copies of the Mac OS. Thank God Jobs came back and gave us all these devices we're all addicted to now, LOL.

I remember unboxing some later versions of these with built in hard drive at my high school around 1987 or 8. I already had an Amiga at home so these felt like a big step backwards. Except for the Laser Writer. That was actually pretty kickass at the time.
I was at Bill’s introduction of Windows. That was cool. He was standing about 10 feet away in a auditorium. And took questions personally. - Those were the days!

You were masterful If you owned one or a Texas Instruments and could type a 2 line routine the dictionary definition of magic. Then it was downhill ever since until Linux the last survivor, a new hope.
YOu met the demon ,and you are proud of it? Goodluck

Apple 1984: Cost half as much as computers half as powerfull.
Apple 2017: Cost twice as much as computers twice as powerfull.
SNO OZE well the problem is they were also liers in 84, the Mac cost twice as much as the Atari ST, which had the same CPU, but also had colour.
it costed around $2000+, so ..
How were they liars? They never claimed that the machine had color and having color has nothing to do with power.
The atari ST was released over a year later so comparing it with the original Mac is pointless.
SNO OZE powerful*
nah. there were all kinds of pcs out at the time that were cheaper and just as powerful if not more.
"An optional numeric keypad." Some things never change.
damn I can't wait for it to release, I want one right now
I really love the 80's

Damn thank god I was worried the software wasn't gonna fit into the case. That really is genius
When software was on punchcards, it might not fit into the case
the nostalgia is killing me, I still remember buying my first floppy disk as though it was yesterday.
... but I can't remember yesterday.
Man time passes so fast :(

Me too. And then the mind blowing zip drive.
I remember buying one and losing a night of work because no one told me you had to format it.
Macintosh 1984 Priced at $2,500, it featured a nine-inch black-and-white screen, two serial ports, and a 3.5-inch floppy disc slot.
I like how they basically called everyone an idiot in the last one
For someone who grew up in the 1980s, I can feel "immersed" at how computer technology have improved so drastically. Wow ! Can't believe it's been that long. It only feels like yesterday. Thanks for this video.
The phone you are holding now is 10.000.000 times more powerful …
I’m using an iPhone by the way … 😊
Yes the difference between 1980s and 2010s is huge and now it's even better 👍🏻
All These calamity's that are going on around the world will lead to a Sunday Law Which will The Mark Of The Beast, Those that keep Gods seventh day sabbath will be prohibited from buying and sell and persecuted. Jesus is coming are you ready?
@raheem allen Thank you for the concern and reminder. May we all be ready every day w/GOD's help.

laptop: So portable I am that I can go anywhere
Macintosh: Hold my beer, goes in bicycle trolley
I sold Macs for a living at one time. I brought home that Mac in that carry case all the time and taught myself. Great times!
That Mac is so portable it fits inside the trunk of your car. Genius.
0:52 "Microsoft doesn't work with new hardware very often" That's a fucking understatement of the century.
he had to practice on this topic to prepare for the vaccination topic
well, Microsoft was and still is mainly a software company even though they sells some hardware like Xbox and Surface today
Hey Eeyore, that hasn't been the case for decades and you know it.
Well it makes sense...
Apple cuts support for their computer line after 5 years. Windows 10 still runs perfect on PC's over 10 years old.
I think some of y'all are missing the joke, he's pointing out how Microsoft software can be buggy with new hardware 😂😂😂
