Can you imagine a world where people were actually excited to see letters move across a screen or images appear on it? How the world has changed since 1984!
The excitement was a computer that out of the box actually had a use. Every PC fired up to a blinking cursor. Without buying software it was useless. It was the first Graphical User Interface. Way beyond MicroSoft. And being within one box with one mouse and keyboard it was, in its time, as revolutionary as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Though not battery powered you could easily move it. PC's were one pile of wires and boxes. Apple, unlike now, moved the world onwards with each new product. It's only mistakes were in the period of Job's absence. An amazing record of what 33 years of focus can do.
This little upright box of tricks was an amazing effort. I preferred the Commodore Amiga 1000 when it arrived 18 months later - the Amiga looked like a more modern incarnation of the classic Commodore PET from 1977. I still have a Macintosh Performa 200 in the man cave from around 1992 - so this Macintosh enjoyed a long run in computing terms!

I dont know if this is a joke lol but Steve Jobs didn’t do anything he was the guy who did the speeches, his waznatch of however you spell His last name and other people did it for him. He didn’t even write any code of circuit design I believe. I might be wrong but this is what Steve Jobs (2015) told us. Unfortunately he was also an asshole according to that movie too!
moddingdudes it was his vision he built the team and company we all know he doesnt sit in front if a comp and write code does mark cuban play basketball?
Hi I am 61 right now but I am proud to say that I was present there and excited as hell, those were my college days and till now everything has changed dramatically. Edit:- Yes! I am an Indian and I was present there, what is so unbelievable in this. btw thanks for all your greetings, This means a lot to me.
It must've been amazing to be in that room looking at a major revolution. I wasn't alive until some time later and it's amazing how much technology has changed.
Happy 40th Birthday Macintosh. The computer for the rest of us! And RIP Steve, I miss your passion and charisma at Apple events. What a special moment in modern history.
It's only been 40 years Wow how fast and far we've come technology is exploding, I'm in my 70s and I glad I won't be around in 30 years to see Ameca and her cohorts take over 😮
@Selderan I've been using a personal computer since the early '80s. I've used Windows, DOS, MacOS, Linux, UNIX, and others. And I really don't know what you mean. MacOS is almost totally just Point-and-Click for 99% of anything you might want to do. I'm not sure how much more simple it could be.
You think prisoners are living on another planet and not aware of whats going on Earth. I tell you what, some prisoners are even better equipped technically than free civillians. Today it is not like several centuries ago. And prisoners are not informationally isolated.
I remember in the early 1980's an Apple salesmen came to our company to demonstrate the Lisa computer. After several minutes of demoing the Lisa he said, "have you noticed I have shown you this software without touching the keyboard once?". It was very impressive, but also very expensive. Then a few years later they released the Mac, and the Lisa was history.
well he did work on it for many years after he got booted from the Lisa project literally named after let's face it, his own daughter R.I.P. Steve We still love our Macs
People today can't appreciate what Steve Jobs presented on that day. We now take such things for granted. When I first heard about this Macintosh thingy I'd grown up working with command line computer interfaces such as DOS. I couldn't believe what people were telling me until I saw this computer for myself. Over the years Steve Jobs went on to present even more amazing stuff like that, for instance smartphones, a technical miracle at the time and for me still is. Rest in peace, Steve, we all miss you. BTW, I'm not an Apple fanboy, I own a Windows laptop and a Google Pixel mobile. But I know that these gadgets wouldn't exist without Steve Jobs.
At 32 years old and born in 1991, I come here today on the 40th anniversary of this historic event and I promise you, I for one can. There were many personal computers coming out around this time, some of them better by hardware (the Amiga, for example), some of them more affordable and better-selling (the Commodore 64), but absolutely none of them presented such a perfectly balanced blend of capability, usability and affordability. A monochrome display wasn't particularly wonderful by 1984 standards any more; hell, even the C64 did 16 colors instead of just two. But the _content_ displayed on this screen, the absolute density and variety of things shown in this demo, the implications of _what such a tiny box could deliver_ were absolutely earth-shattering. The audience for this demo had every reason to go wild, because in these few brief minutes, they could see that what was once considered "the future" had finally become "now." I'm not an Apple fan either, honestly can't stand anything they've done since the late 2000s; but this, right here, was a special moment in history.
@@AdamNovagen I appreciate your enthusiasm. I was already a seasoned computer user in 1984 so I daresay I can tell you a few things here. The presentation of the Macintosh in 1984 was nothing to go wild about. Already the Lisa could do more than the Macintosh. The Amiga and Atari were also just as able, had been on the market already a year earlier and had a larger collection of software to choose from. And all these systems had larger displays. Many even complained about the Mac's postage stamp sized display. Wild enthusiasm for the new Macintosh was therefor unwarranted and had more to do with Apple's clever marketing campaign than with the introduction of a rather mediocre and far too expensive personal computer.
Same here and I own a Windows computer and a Google pixel 7 pro. But I still think that Apple has really paved the way for a lot of the way we see electronics today. I've owned Apple products in the past and even though I much prefer the ability to have more granular control over customization, I can't lie when I say that the overall user interface and way that Apple products works is simple and seamless. It's just a great experience. But I like to tinker and I like to be able to controlled tiny little aspects of my devices so I have stuck with Windows and Android. But More recently I have considered getting a Mac just to have the best of both worlds.
Of course they would exist as a matter of fact SJ took them from what was invented already by smarter people than him and put them together in a commercial way to appeal part of the mass public. Kind of what Elon Musk does today.
It’s awesome to see Steve’s face as he presents this. He and the Mac team knew they had something amazing. He and his gang of pirates really made history, and after hearing that crowd’s reaction, you can’t help but smile too.
@@n6cid Actually Jef Raskin named the Macintosh. The Macintosh was started shortly after the Lisa project (named after Steve's daughter who he sorta refused to be the father of). The Macintosh was a less powerful device than the Lisa but was revolutionary due to the software Steve had the software team develop for it. At one point when becoming the head of the Macintosh team, Jobs tried to rename it the "Bicycle", but everyone on the team hated it and refused to use the name, so it was kept as the Mac we know today.
@@Mr.Fishward That's cool, Steve was different back in those days. To be honest he was a real drunk and treated people very badly. It's no wonder his liver gave out on him at such a young age.
mandy911 And Regan was the best president in history. A man that removed the iron clad choker placed around America, deregulated her, and allowed her to citizens and businesses to be free and innovate. There is a reason 49 out of 50 states reelected Regan in 1984. We all loved Regan for breaking the chains. Allowed for massive change. People responded by changing the world.
The parties that were held in the 80’s beat anything I’ve seen since. My parents era rocked. That level of excess probably hadn’t been seen since the 1920’s in the USA.
@@jimmorrison4163 Funny how a lot of people support anti-immigration policies and at the same time praise Reagan. If it wasn't for Reagan's war on drugs bs, immigration or drugs or crime wouldn't be a problem. Not to mention of course, the 20 Trillion dollar debt that the U.S is currently in. Of which nearly half is owed to China.
I remember my first encounter with a Mac in 1988 or so. I’d never seen anything like it, but 20 minutes later I was printing a beautiful letter and drawing stuff. It was revolutionary.
I bought a Mac Plus, Rodime 30 mb external hard drive and Image Writer printer…put it all on Apple Credit…about $4.5 k…. I wouldn’t be surprised if i wasn’t still making payments on it !!! 🥴
That's about when I first used a Mac too. It was in a college computer lab, and I only used it because my friend needed my paper given to him on a disc. I didn't know shit about it, because the last computer I used were Trash 80s and Commodores in high school. Hell most of the time I wrote my papers on a MANUAL typewriter at home.
With the exception of color TV; FM stereo radio; a pocket calculator; the 45 rpm/33 LP records/cassette tapes; along with the transistor radio, technology from the 1940s to the '70s for the average consumer really didn't progress all that far. But, from the late 1970s to present day, the technological leaps have been astounding. A person taking a time leap from the 1940s to 30 years in the future could still function well with handling the 1970s technology. But a person from the 1970s to jump to the present? It would be a struggle. Something as simple as a cordless phone they wouldn't know how to answer it.
@@Dreezel reason I say that is because I'm only 32 years old, my life hasn't been that long. Now 37 years might sound and feel like a long time to an older gentleman but for me it isn't that long.
I wonder how many of this younger generation actually understand what a BIG deal this was in 1984! Nineteen EIGHTY-four...not ‘94...EIGHTY-four. This was science fiction come to life. This was unheard of. Only a fantasy until...it wasn’t. Epic historical moment!
I just found this video, and I already noticed a couple of comments comparing this to what we have now. Yet I am able to keep perspective in mind, so I can imagine how amazing it must've been at the time. Sure I wasn't born until ten years later, but I've long had a fascination with retro tech so I was genuinely intrigued by this video. It's probably one of the most beautiful things I have seen to date. And extra points for playing the "Chariots of Fire" theme in the background. That was fucking epic! 😁
@@astrodome1994 Funnily enough technology with computers now has not fundamentally changed since then. The desktop environments are similar, programs can do similar rendering and are built upon the same elements. The only thing that has changed is the power and efficiency, an average person will be able to use that old mac because it is so similar in basics to the new macs we have now.
You are completely right, I can’t comprehend what all the fuss is about. Sure, I understand that this technology was never seen before. But it’s so ordinary now, everything that it could do. Crazy
@Lord Shrenny Computers are computers, the are in a single area which in itself has stayed true to the fundamentals. Looking at a computer you know its a computer and you know how to use it even if its one like this. You cannot compare a car to a simple light blink circuit
All home computers these days were "booting" faster as actually they didn't have dynamic operation systems on hard drive. Or in most cases - no hard drives at all - you were loading software from floppies. And OS was placed in ROM memory, so it was starting immediately.
Well naturally, but Jobs has just the right charisma to pull the show off. Just because it's obviously a performance of sorts, that doesn't mean it's easy to pull off.
Arthas Menethil It's one of the most important moments in computing history. Without this computer it is possible we could still all be using text based systems. Apple took the concept of a GUI and made it available to the masses and it changed home computing forever as it made computers easier to use in an era where command lines were the norm.
this is the comment i said "no its not" to. "It doesn't matter if you prefer Windows, Mac or Linux. If you like home computers, this is probably one of the most important moments of all time". now take your take to read that shit and take it in.
I was an ad agency production manager from 1960s to 2010s. The release of the Macintosh in 1984 was a total game changer. No more physical cut and paste of text matter with photo prints to create an advert. Adverts became completely made/produced via the Mac. Macs were the platform of choice because operating them was so much more intuitive, easier and quicker than trying to do the same work on a Windows platform. Back then design and production software was mainly made for use only on Macs. Only in recent years have many softwares been built for Windows PC as well. Today most ad agencies, design and creative businesses in Australia use Macs in preference to a Windows PC. Thank heavens Apple and Steve Jobs came along when they did. Creatives never had it so good.
I worked in a small design studio in the 90's and the old hand that owned the place would do an edit to a brochure, save and close it and then would shake his head and say "that would have taken me 2 hours just a few years ago."
Apple did great things in the 1980's but it was really Microsoft all along pushing the Software on the hardware in the mid 1990's with gaming and 3d graphics software that was only once possible on SGI workstations. Apple's answer to SGI was foolish with the Next nonsense, it was a complete failure. Windows NT was the final nail in the coffin for SGI and Irix as Direct 3D/ Open GL was on the horizon. Open GL was not even supported on Mac OS for many years and this was needed for 3D software packages like Maya, Softimage and other in house suites. I believe that Microsoft buying Softimage and porting it to Windows NT away from SGI on Irix really started the Modern Graphics software race. Both Apple and Microsoft are guilty of stagnating the modern computer with the current technology we are really starting to slow down on development of a new way of computing. It seems like the tech is already here but the major companies do not want it to be released as they still have billions invested in old tech to dump on the mass consumers. Computer processors have become a joke, system memory is a joke, the Modern OS's are a joke compared to the 1980's, there is no more efficiency over looks. Look at old Apple products they were different and made a big impact, in 2024 Apple is basically a cell phone manufacturer.
That's Steve Jobes. I cried with happiness watching this video. I thank the universe that sent you to this world that you animate and inspire the soul in machines. Time has no power over us, you will always remain in my heart. And I feel the same as you at this moment!
I don't use Apple's products. I prefer Windows and Android, but the significance of this unveiling as well as the iPhone's cannot be overstated. So cool to see it for the first time here in 2018. The 80's were a magical time.
Yeah lots of poor people can’t afford the good stuff, but that’s OK, it’s people like me that make sure peasants like you eventually can afford the ripped off stuff.
@@elfinstuff8934 Early adopters and people who buy high end products bankroll these products being built, which then are stolen and ripped off by Asian countries which then in turn sell them to welfare trash like yourself who couldn't afford it before. But you don't have to be a piece of garbage, you could just get a good job, work hard and support people who create things rather than just support people who steal things. But that's a lot of work for people of lower stock.
Rod Munch Steve Job’s was the unofficial innovative leader of every company that competed against Apple. Watch, we’re going to be playing with tablets for another 20 years because that’s where the well dried up.
@@jb6425 Well I wouldn't go that far, but Jobs was very very good at instinctively knowing what works and what doesn't, and he was a stickler for making items that would push technology but also be easy enough to use for the mass market. It's not so much what Jobs personally did, he was just great at being an a-hole and rejecting stuff if he didn't deem it perfect, and since he's been gone too many products are brought to market that are pretty good, but not insanely great. A perfect fit for Apple is Elon Musk, he's a guy that seems to have that same type of drive and instinctive ability to make items that people want - while also pushing the envelope. Apple should buy Telsa and make Musk their CEO, that I think would push Apple again to innovate rather than just refine items like they do under Cook, who is clearly just a penny pincher and has zero vision.
I was 17 in 1984 which was the first time I used a computer on a training course known as the YTS in those days. It is incredible to see how much technology has advanced in 37 years.
That's because there's almost NOTHING to boot up in this thing. My God, are you people actually implying this old-ass mac is better than your PC? Get real, kids. Can you play GTA-5 on this thing? Oh I thought not . . .
@Mike Yeah, but considering to how much faster the hardware is today, it has LESS to do than this Mac. Code was much more efficient back in the day because it HAD to be. Today, the whole codebase is a mess because the hardware is so fast, nobody will bother to fix it.
That's how it went. Before he went to High School, Steve would put on his dad's business suit and practice just like he was up on a stage. All they had was a bowling ball and a VCR. That was before he met and befriended Issey Miyake, and then everything changed. From then on, Steve was a new man and no one ever mocked him again.
+Cenric He actually didn't invent that much, he found a way to implement different kinds of technology in a way that would benefit the end user so much that it kinda became the standard we know today. That, by its self, is very creative but not inventing. It is kinda like painting a nice scenery, it is there and you didn't invent the canvas, the paint, the brushes or the scenery but you still manage to make something stunning from it. Look it up, most things that apple is known for introducing has been around before.
+Bas van der Meij (Ykai63) Then what's your definition of inventing? Literally everything that has ever been "invented" has simply been putting things together.
mhillsman An invention is creating something new, that hasn't been seen before like when the computer mouse was invented, it was way before apple brought it to market but apple made it popular. The same goes for the iphone, they didn't invent much of the technologies but brought them to the consumer market in a desirable way so they made those technologies popular as well.
This was amazing when it happened. I was only 9 years old! I am almost 48 today. Steve Jobs was truly a pioneer and he left behind life changing devices that we take for granted today. He has left as much of an impact on human life as Newton, Gutenberg, Edison, the Wright Bros, and Ford.
It was his drive that change the cinematic world with his joining Pixar. It was his drive that pushed for a user friendly OS (though taken from Xerox) and an all in one personal computer. It was his drive that pushed for the simplication of the MP3 player and later the smartphone. It's easy to sit back and wallow in your own ignorance, but those of us in the tech community bore witness to the progress of technology, and Steve Jobs was at the forefront of bringing a lot of innovation to the consumer.
Good thing too because the desing of everything was getting boring. I mean, I look at how things are desinged today and think "Steve Jobs needs to redesing that."
Couple of things here.........One, take a minute to be amazed at what computers have become, and what they can do.......Sometimes we get so used to something we forget how "insanely great" it is..........Secondly, just finished Isaacson's Jobs biography.............It's terrific, highly recommended.
Same! I'm reading Becoming Steve Jobs at the moment and got to where the author described the commercial and presentation of Macintosh. I wouldn't have known about all this had I not chose to read this wonderful book!
Hi Nawaf Abu-Ghaz I saw your post are the good old days remember when the commadore computer used to be around with a floppy disc and or a cassette tape set up I do those were the good Old days
Brett Nolan Nothing, actually. I just thought that that smile was the highlight of the video for me and wanted to call attention to it on the Internet.
Some of us don't care if we get to experience a moment where we're the most interesting human being on earth. That was his life goal. It's kind of nice to see him bask in it even if I know he went backstage and verbally abused every single person who looked directly at him.
Well sadly the first Mac did fail and got Steve fired so the smile was not long lived. Good for the audience though to see him so confident. The iMac G3 deserves the smile.
He just happened to have a very peculiar set of skills that nobody thought would be relevant to the industry. I think part of what made Steve Jobs so successful was that he made connections with the right people (e.g. Steve Wozniak, John Sculley, who were independently experts in computer science and business, respectively) and complemented their skills with his vision, showmanship, and force of will. Ultimately he was just in the right place and right time.
This was really fabulous. The man who started it all, and changed the world in the process, with a little box of magic. You rocked the world, Steve Jobs!
Handsome or not, he was still a Class A jerk. You would think with all the money he had he would have been a nicer person. People that knew him said he was a real pos.
Steve had at least 10 Million by this time. You replied "because money makes you nicer ?" Your comment makes no sense. I was commenting that Steve was a real jerk and pos. When Steve had 200 million he was still a world class jerk pos. So money certainly did not make him nicer.
OMG... I smiled now for 1984... Steve Jobs takes my breath away and inspires me. Every book ever written dedicated to him, mesmerises me, every moment.. Truly a legend..My salute to Steve Jobs....
I still have one of the original Mac Plus' with all the peripherals as well. It launched a whole new career for me. I then bought one for my son, and it launched a career in Macintosh Computer Forensics for him. It truly was a ground breaker!
Yes, and soon after we also got WYSIWYG on Atari ST whose TOS was based on the same GUI that Apple copied. Microsoft on the other hand would take most of a decade to catch up.
@@jamesthompson3099 yeah he got the gui idea and the mouse from Xerox like i mentioned and how was it different? Graphic User Interface is a GRAPHIC USER INTERFACE no matter what it looks like ... are you stupid?
Clutch Racing - Forza, Project Cars 2 & MORE It was all about fitting back then. The machine fits inside the bag and disk inside the pocket.... cool indeed!!
@YUKAJO Microsoft didnt copy though. I think Bill Gates wrote an article 1 year after the first computer was made which was Altair 8800 computer (technically it wasnt very user friendly but it was that computer that aspired interest to make computers). So this back then caught interest to alot of computer people. But sucks that Steve is dead. As much of a non fan i am of Apple. it was fun having him here as a competition.
@@kejiri3593 and where is ibm today? Does it even exist anymore? I’m too lazy to check. Meanwhile MacBooks are sold everywhere and are the gold standard in computing.
Watching this on (as of this year 2021) on latest model Macbook Pro. It's insane how far these machines have come. I used to love drawing on the original Mac's paintbrush program. Back then that was an incredible tool to me. I was 9 years old.
In general there was more excitement for things back then. I remember audiences in movie theaters cheering wildly for trailers for the next Rocky, Raiders, Star Wars or whatever summer blockbuster; now you can hear a pin drop. There was also high anticipation for the next big album and a mad rush for tickets for the upcoming tour that always reached a fever-pitch. There was even excitement for new car models. Everyone couldn't wait to see the newly restyled 1984 Corvette. Owners couldn't drive anywhere without getting stopped like they were celebrities and getting a ride in one was a thrill!
Its all been ruined because of instant gratification. Something this generation will never understand, having to wait for things. Now things happen so fast you can't get anyone to be excited anymore.
In the 2010s we entered mega sensory overload. We've bypassed pleasurable excitement for the things you mentioned, and replaced it with mad-addiction to our smartphones (understandably so).
That was a big time spot back in their day. It reminds me of when I was a little kid, and I and my family freaked out the 1st time we saw Windows 95. For us and the start button, just like them and the letters, we were seeing the future
@@FIXTREME i agree, the first time I experi3mced Graphical User interface, i was mesmerized and astonish3d. People take GUI for granted because they never used a computer with only DOS.
the child is a freak that mutated from motorola to powerpc to intel to arm; even worst, many bad practices (then critiziced by jobs like ibm and microsoft monopolies) are now embraced by apple; key players/designers resinged (jonathan ive) and the proliferation of independent 3rd party services (like Louise Rossman & Jessa Jones) are exposing the bad products and design apple is throwing at its fanboy base
Steven L Reading it for fun! I think he's an interesting person and reinvented quite a few industries. There's a one in a lifetime person like him so it's interesting reading about his background.

I remember in the early 1980's an Apple salesmen came to our company to demonstrate the Lisa computer. After several minutes of demoing the Lisa he said, "have you noticed I have shown you this software without touching the keyboard once?". It was very impressive, but also very expensive. Then a few years later they released the Mac, and the Lisa was history.
That’s a pretty great way to demo it honestly, nice throwback!

R.I.P. Steve
We still love our Macs
Yasss
People today can't appreciate what Steve Jobs presented on that day. We now take such things for granted. When I first heard about this Macintosh thingy I'd grown up working with command line computer interfaces such as DOS. I couldn't believe what people were telling me until I saw this computer for myself.
Over the years Steve Jobs went on to present even more amazing stuff like that, for instance smartphones, a technical miracle at the time and for me still is.
Rest in peace, Steve, we all miss you.
BTW, I'm not an Apple fanboy, I own a Windows laptop and a Google Pixel mobile. But I know that these gadgets wouldn't exist without Steve Jobs.
At 32 years old and born in 1991, I come here today on the 40th anniversary of this historic event and I promise you, I for one can. There were many personal computers coming out around this time, some of them better by hardware (the Amiga, for example), some of them more affordable and better-selling (the Commodore 64), but absolutely none of them presented such a perfectly balanced blend of capability, usability and affordability.
A monochrome display wasn't particularly wonderful by 1984 standards any more; hell, even the C64 did 16 colors instead of just two. But the _content_ displayed on this screen, the absolute density and variety of things shown in this demo, the implications of _what such a tiny box could deliver_ were absolutely earth-shattering. The audience for this demo had every reason to go wild, because in these few brief minutes, they could see that what was once considered "the future" had finally become "now."
I'm not an Apple fan either, honestly can't stand anything they've done since the late 2000s; but this, right here, was a special moment in history.
@@AdamNovagen I appreciate your enthusiasm. I was already a seasoned computer user in 1984 so I daresay I can tell you a few things here.
The presentation of the Macintosh in 1984 was nothing to go wild about. Already the Lisa could do more than the Macintosh. The Amiga and Atari were also just as able, had been on the market already a year earlier and had a larger collection of software to choose from. And all these systems had larger displays. Many even complained about the Mac's postage stamp sized display.
Wild enthusiasm for the new Macintosh was therefor unwarranted and had more to do with Apple's clever marketing campaign than with the introduction of a rather mediocre and far too expensive personal computer.
Same here and I own a Windows computer and a Google pixel 7 pro. But I still think that Apple has really paved the way for a lot of the way we see electronics today. I've owned Apple products in the past and even though I much prefer the ability to have more granular control over customization, I can't lie when I say that the overall user interface and way that Apple products works is simple and seamless. It's just a great experience. But I like to tinker and I like to be able to controlled tiny little aspects of my devices so I have stuck with Windows and Android. But More recently I have considered getting a Mac just to have the best of both worlds.
I appreciated it. My first computer was a TI 99 4A with 16K color, fabulous, 1983!
Of course they would exist as a matter of fact SJ took them from what was invented already by smarter people than him and put them together in a commercial way to appeal part of the mass public. Kind of what Elon Musk does today.

It’s awesome to see Steve’s face as he presents this. He and the Mac team knew they had something amazing. He and his gang of pirates really made history, and after hearing that crowd’s reaction, you can’t help but smile too.
This project was called the "Lisa"....Steve named all project with names...
@@n6cid Actually Jef Raskin named the Macintosh. The Macintosh was started shortly after the Lisa project (named after Steve's daughter who he sorta refused to be the father of). The Macintosh was a less powerful device than the Lisa but was revolutionary due to the software Steve had the software team develop for it. At one point when becoming the head of the Macintosh team, Jobs tried to rename it the "Bicycle", but everyone on the team hated it and refused to use the name, so it was kept as the Mac we know today.
@@Mr.Fishward Did you work at Apple back in the day? I did.
@@n6cid No, I am just passionate about the history of the company. I actually recently got done reading Steve Jobs' biography.
@@Mr.Fishward That's cool, Steve was different back in those days. To be honest he was a real drunk and treated people very badly. It's no wonder his liver gave out on him at such a young age.

mandy911 And Regan was the best president in history. A man that removed the iron clad choker placed around America, deregulated her, and allowed her to citizens and businesses to be free and innovate. There is a reason 49 out of 50 states reelected Regan in 1984. We all loved Regan for breaking the chains. Allowed for massive change. People responded by changing the world.

I remember my first encounter with a Mac in 1988 or so. I’d never seen anything like it, but 20 minutes later I was printing a beautiful letter and drawing stuff. It was revolutionary.
I bought a Mac Plus, Rodime 30 mb external hard drive and Image Writer printer…put it all on Apple Credit…about $4.5 k…. I wouldn’t be surprised if i wasn’t still making payments on it !!! 🥴
That's about when I first used a Mac too. It was in a college computer lab, and I only used it because my friend needed my paper given to him on a disc. I didn't know shit about it, because the last computer I used were Trash 80s and Commodores in high school. Hell most of the time I wrote my papers on a MANUAL typewriter at home.
Hard to believe this was only 37 years ago. The tech we have now is insane and it's only going to get crazier
Only 37 year☠️
With the exception of color TV; FM stereo radio; a pocket calculator; the 45 rpm/33 LP records/cassette tapes; along with the transistor radio, technology from the 1940s to the '70s for the average consumer really didn't progress all that far. But, from the late 1970s to present day, the technological leaps have been astounding.
A person taking a time leap from the 1940s to 30 years in the future could still function well with handling the 1970s technology. But a person from the 1970s to jump to the present? It would be a struggle. Something as simple as a cordless phone they wouldn't know how to answer it.
it's the same technology, just faster and smaller
@@Dreezel reason I say that is because I'm only 32 years old, my life hasn't been that long. Now 37 years might sound and feel like a long time to an older gentleman but for me it isn't that long.
AMD Epyc now has 96 core cpu's. You can have 2 of those in the same chassis!

Nineteen EIGHTY-four...not ‘94...EIGHTY-four. This was science fiction come to life. This was unheard of. Only a fantasy until...it wasn’t.
Epic historical moment!

I just found this video, and I already noticed a couple of comments comparing this to what we have now. Yet I am able to keep perspective in mind, so I can imagine how amazing it must've been at the time. Sure I wasn't born until ten years later, but I've long had a fascination with retro tech so I was genuinely intrigued by this video. It's probably one of the most beautiful things I have seen to date.
And extra points for playing the "Chariots of Fire" theme in the background. That was fucking epic! 😁
@@astrodome1994 Funnily enough technology with computers now has not fundamentally changed since then. The desktop environments are similar, programs can do similar rendering and are built upon the same elements. The only thing that has changed is the power and efficiency, an average person will be able to use that old mac because it is so similar in basics to the new macs we have now.
You are completely right, I can’t comprehend what all the fuss is about. Sure, I understand that this technology was never seen before. But it’s so ordinary now, everything that it could do. Crazy
@Lord Shrenny Computers are computers, the are in a single area which in itself has stayed true to the fundamentals. Looking at a computer you know its a computer and you know how to use it even if its one like this. You cannot compare a car to a simple light blink circuit

Of course
not faster than my Mac though :P
Ever heard of an ssd?
All home computers these days were "booting" faster as actually they didn't have dynamic operation systems on hard drive. Or in most cases - no hard drives at all - you were loading software from floppies. And OS was placed in ROM memory, so it was starting immediately.
operation?
perfect presentation - it's all about the show.

Well naturally, but Jobs has just the right charisma to pull the show off. Just because it's obviously a performance of sorts, that doesn't mean it's easy to pull off.

It doesn't matter if you prefer Windows, Mac or Linux. If you like home computers, this is probably one of the most important moments of all time
megahurtz30 no, no it's not mate.
Arthas Menethil It's one of the most important moments in computing history. Without this computer it is possible we could still all be using text based systems. Apple took the concept of a GUI and made it available to the masses and it changed home computing forever as it made computers easier to use in an era where command lines were the norm.
this is the comment i said "no its not" to. "It doesn't matter if you prefer Windows, Mac or Linux. If you like home computers, this is probably one of the most important moments of all time". now take your take to read that shit and take it in.
megahurtz30 you right, but not as big as introduction of Apple II
The Mother of All Demos - Douglas Engelbart!
I was an ad agency production manager from 1960s to 2010s. The release of the Macintosh in 1984 was a total game changer. No more physical cut and paste of text matter with photo prints to create an advert. Adverts became completely made/produced via the Mac. Macs were the platform of choice because operating them was so much more intuitive, easier and quicker than trying to do the same work on a Windows platform. Back then design and production software was mainly made for use only on Macs. Only in recent years have many softwares been built for Windows PC as well. Today most ad agencies, design and creative businesses in Australia use Macs in preference to a Windows PC. Thank heavens Apple and Steve Jobs came along when they did. Creatives never had it so good.
I worked in a small design studio in the 90's and the old hand that owned the place would do an edit to a brochure, save and close it and then would shake his head and say "that would have taken me 2 hours just a few years ago."
Apple did great things in the 1980's but it was really Microsoft all along pushing the Software on the hardware in the mid 1990's with gaming and 3d graphics software that was only once possible on SGI workstations. Apple's answer to SGI was foolish with the Next nonsense, it was a complete failure. Windows NT was the final nail in the coffin for SGI and Irix as Direct 3D/ Open GL was on the horizon. Open GL was not even supported on Mac OS for many years and this was needed for 3D software packages like Maya, Softimage and other in house suites. I believe that Microsoft buying Softimage and porting it to Windows NT away from SGI on Irix really started the Modern Graphics software race. Both Apple and Microsoft are guilty of stagnating the modern computer with the current technology we are really starting to slow down on development of a new way of computing. It seems like the tech is already here but the major companies do not want it to be released as they still have billions invested in old tech to dump on the mass consumers. Computer processors have become a joke, system memory is a joke, the Modern OS's are a joke compared to the 1980's, there is no more efficiency over looks. Look at old Apple products they were different and made a big impact, in 2024 Apple is basically a cell phone manufacturer.
That's Steve Jobes. I cried with happiness watching this video. I thank the universe that sent you to this world that you animate and inspire the soul in machines. Time has no power over us, you will always remain in my heart. And I feel the same as you at this moment!
I feel so good for him in the part where he was smiling. He was so proud. RIP Steve Jobs :(
I don't use Apple's products. I prefer Windows and Android, but the significance of this unveiling as well as the iPhone's cannot be overstated. So cool to see it for the first time here in 2018. The 80's were a magical time.

@@elfinstuff8934 Early adopters and people who buy high end products bankroll these products being built, which then are stolen and ripped off by Asian countries which then in turn sell them to welfare trash like yourself who couldn't afford it before. But you don't have to be a piece of garbage, you could just get a good job, work hard and support people who create things rather than just support people who steal things. But that's a lot of work for people of lower stock.
Rod Munch Steve Job’s was the unofficial innovative leader of every company that competed against Apple. Watch, we’re going to be playing with tablets for another 20 years because that’s where the well dried up.
@@jb6425 Well I wouldn't go that far, but Jobs was very very good at instinctively knowing what works and what doesn't, and he was a stickler for making items that would push technology but also be easy enough to use for the mass market. It's not so much what Jobs personally did, he was just great at being an a-hole and rejecting stuff if he didn't deem it perfect, and since he's been gone too many products are brought to market that are pretty good, but not insanely great. A perfect fit for Apple is Elon Musk, he's a guy that seems to have that same type of drive and instinctive ability to make items that people want - while also pushing the envelope. Apple should buy Telsa and make Musk their CEO, that I think would push Apple again to innovate rather than just refine items like they do under Cook, who is clearly just a penny pincher and has zero vision.
I don't if its just me but every time I see this it brings tears to my eyes. Steve Jobs just made history.

@Mike Yeah, but considering to how much faster the hardware is today, it has LESS to do than this Mac. Code was much more efficient back in the day because it HAD to be. Today, the whole codebase is a mess because the hardware is so fast, nobody will bother to fix it.
Considering that quite a decent chunk of the system is in the ROM it's not very surprising.
That's how it went. Before he went to High School, Steve would put on his dad's business suit and practice just like he was up on a stage. All they had was a bowling ball and a VCR. That was before he met and befriended Issey Miyake, and then everything changed. From then on, Steve was a new man and no one ever mocked him again.

That, by its self, is very creative but not inventing. It is kinda like painting a nice scenery, it is there and you didn't invent the canvas, the paint, the brushes or the scenery but you still manage to make something stunning from it.

It was his drive that pushed for the simplication of the MP3 player and later the smartphone.

He just happened to have a very peculiar set of skills that nobody thought would be relevant to the industry.

Ultimately he was just in the right place and right time.

Lol you think he invented the first personal computer?? 🤣🤣 home computing was around since 1977
@@filiplaskovski9993when you have poor knowledge
Reading Steve Jobs exclusive biography and then watching these important moments recorded. Hits differently.
I'm doing the same, biography is insane plus these lots videos are like cherry on the cake
@@rosifyy07 I have a Kindle for 3 years now, and I have completed only two books yet. This one is one of them.
There aren’t many videos that make me well up, but for some reason, this one always gets me. Phenomenal.
Damn Steve Jobs was acctually quite handsome back in his day
You gay haha
@Anon 5 😳 no homo
Handsome or not, he was still a Class A jerk. You would think with all the money he had he would have been a nicer person. People that knew him said he was a real pos.
@@teddymills1 Because money makes you nicer... Ignorant....
Steve had at least 10 Million by this time. You replied "because money makes you nicer ?" Your comment makes no sense. I was commenting that Steve was a real jerk and pos. When Steve had 200 million he was still a world class jerk pos. So money certainly did not make him nicer.
In 2050 , ppl well look at 2019 exactly the same :|
I look forward to seeing anyone replying this thread in 2050!
true story, also 1984 will be stone ages then in 2050
Exactly right 😁😁
T! Sorrow ...we won't be around in 2050, the planet will be fried to a crisp
@@ScoreGuru123 I will be 62 by that time, I prefer to lay 6 feet under before that than live .
It will be hell if not crisp.
Still get chills watching this, everytime.
It is amazing to watch what was AMAZING in 1984. And I was for sure part of the crowd that was amazed.
Some nice perspective the progress of personal computing. #twt
Watching this on an iPad, 40 years later.
I was born in the 90s, but god damn, hearing that thing talk is still one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard.
OMG... I smiled now for 1984... Steve Jobs takes my breath away and inspires me. Every book ever written dedicated to him, mesmerises me, every moment.. Truly a legend..My salute to Steve Jobs....
do not laugh, in 30 years our children will laugh at us in Iphone introduction ......
Jokes on you, i will not have any children
No one was laughing though
the Iphone came out 15 years ago, kids are already laughing at us.
This comment should stay until then
Maybe how knows 🐥
I still have one of the original Mac Plus' with all the peripherals as well. It launched a whole new career for me. I then bought one for my son, and it launched a career in Macintosh Computer Forensics for him. It truly was a ground breaker!
Watching this on my Macbook Air 2014. RIP Steve.

Now we watch cat videos on a screen that fits in our hands, on the toilet. Thank you, Steve.
Does it only work when you sit on the toilet?
@@mylra4689 Ye
btw which cat you're talking about
@@darryshelby7544 KAAN CAN ?
The ability of changing font and font size on screen was a major innovation then.
Yes, and soon after we also got WYSIWYG on Atari ST whose TOS was based on the same GUI that Apple copied. Microsoft on the other hand would take most of a decade to catch up.
MovieViking Very cool :D
please jobs bought the GUI from Xerox the guy invented nothing, he just sold it
@@coraga1726 He bought the rights from Xerox. What Apple put out was almost completely different.
@@jamesthompson3099 yeah he got the gui idea and the mouse from Xerox like i mentioned and how was it different? Graphic User Interface is a GRAPHIC USER INTERFACE no matter what it looks like ... are you stupid?
That was the first computer I used in the mid 80's at work, crazy how far we have come.
Who found this in their recommendations 11 years later?
Because of fortnite
Fortnite
Of course little kids are going to say, “because of fortnite” so annoying
Official JT well, that’s most likely the reason why it is appearing on their timeline
Me
Who’s here watching this at home on quarantine & chill ?
Me

Woah, hey there
And also me

first time a man has pulled out a floppy and got a cheer !
BOOM
Hear Me Now
This crowd went wild for the limp noodle!
Thumbs up for your little joke. Don't take that the wrong way.
Ok not bad
Clutch - Assetto Corsa Racing & Drifting mmk
Clutch Racing - Forza, Project Cars 2 & MORE
It was all about fitting back then. The machine fits inside the bag and disk inside the pocket.... cool indeed!!
Can’t believe it’s been 40 years. I was barely even an idea when this thing came out!
It is incredible. This guy, just on that stage wrote history. Moving characters on a screen.... never seen before. Life is too short... Now i know it
Life is huge
He didnt write history. He made a ovepriced brand. IBM computer in 1981 or Commodore 64, i take that over a hipster brand anyday
@YUKAJO Microsoft didnt copy though. I think Bill Gates wrote an article 1 year after the first computer was made which was Altair 8800 computer (technically it wasnt very user friendly but it was that computer that aspired interest to make computers). So this back then caught interest to alot of computer people. But sucks that Steve is dead. As much of a non fan i am of Apple. it was fun having him here as a competition.
If retro computers are back on sale, I would take the stock immediately
@@kejiri3593 and where is ibm today? Does it even exist anymore? I’m too lazy to check. Meanwhile MacBooks are sold everywhere and are the gold standard in computing.
Watching this on (as of this year 2021) on latest model Macbook Pro. It's insane how far these machines have come. I used to love drawing on the original Mac's paintbrush program. Back then that was an incredible tool to me. I was 9 years old.
Yeah, but you could actually customize and modify/upgrade that original mac. Doing so in a MacBook Pro is verbotten.
How does this not have more views? This is a great piece of history.
I'm currently reading Steve's biography. This is exactly how I imagined this speech ❤️
In general there was more excitement for things back then. I remember audiences in movie theaters cheering wildly for trailers for the next Rocky, Raiders, Star Wars or whatever summer blockbuster; now you can hear a pin drop. There was also high anticipation for the next big album and a mad rush for tickets for the upcoming tour that always reached a fever-pitch. There was even excitement for new car models. Everyone couldn't wait to see the newly restyled 1984 Corvette. Owners couldn't drive anywhere without getting stopped like they were celebrities and getting a ride in one was a thrill!
Its all been ruined because of instant gratification. Something this generation will never understand, having to wait for things. Now things happen so fast you can't get anyone to be excited anymore.
In the 2010s we entered mega sensory overload. We've bypassed pleasurable excitement for the things you mentioned, and replaced it with mad-addiction to our smartphones (understandably so).
@@Tatorvision Amen.I agree 100% with you.✌️
That time when letters start to appear on screen and everyone went hysterical! 🤣🤣🤣
That was a big time spot back in their day. It reminds me of when I was a little kid, and I and my family freaked out the 1st time we saw Windows 95. For us and the start button, just like them and the letters, we were seeing the future
Hahahahahaha ikr? So fucking goood!
After 30 yrs even Kiddo can do that...... 30 yrs that the span of Steve job Advance Thinking.......
@@FIXTREME i agree, the first time I experi3mced Graphical User interface, i was mesmerized and astonish3d. People take GUI for granted because they never used a computer with only DOS.
👌👌😂😂🍹😂😂
To steve:
your child is 35 years old, we never forget you Steve
the child is a freak that mutated from motorola to powerpc to intel to arm; even worst, many bad practices (then critiziced by jobs like ibm and microsoft monopolies) are now embraced by apple; key players/designers resinged (jonathan ive) and the proliferation of independent 3rd party services (like Louise Rossman & Jessa Jones) are exposing the bad products and design apple is throwing at its fanboy base
It's unfair to call the Macintosh one of Jobs children. He didn't ignore it
Along with the $999 monitor stand
@@alerey4363 You are an idiot!!
Steve jobs just a salesman
Long live steve wozniak!
Some may laugh at it now, but "what was in that bag" forty years ago has lead all the way to the device in your hand right now.
I am reading this part of his biography and it's great to actually see it. Thanks for posting!
Lemon Lorraine Read The Steve Jobs way if you haven't already :)
Steven L I'll have to check it out!
Are you a student reading it for school, or are you an entrepreneur?
Steven L Reading it for fun! I think he's an interesting person and reinvented quite a few industries. There's a one in a lifetime person like him so it's interesting reading about his background.
Do you have a life goal of your own that you are working towards? Fun is a good reason!
Does someone got this jewel on recommend section today?
Me :D
yep I didn't search for Macintosh 1985, it was in the recommended section
Me xD
Yes.
Today I was blessed
I was reading the book of Steve Jobs by Isaac, on this part I was absolutely impressed so I searched the video, omg
Same here!
Yo ditto!
SAME DUDE
Me too
Cheers mate! Same here :)
This is still so moving watching in 2024
