Apple’s Macintosh Computers: A Technology That Achieved Dominance

1) Process of selecting technology and evaluating key technical standards using Suarez, F. 2004 articles, battle milestones and key key stages elements. "Technological Advantage War: Integrated Framework", Research Policy. 33, No. 2, pp. 271-286. The main technology is Apple 's Macintosh computer. According to Suarez 's article (1), "Technology - widely defined as a set of knowledge, some of which are embedded in physical devices and devices - due to the complex process, several competing alternatives And versions prioritized technologies are not selected "

In 1984, Apple announced Macintosh, changed technology forever. Before it appeared, PC was hard to use. However, the Macintosh introduces a mouse that graphically displays and gives the computer a true personality. Now, everyone can learn to use one in a few minutes and have a really good time. However, the way to the Macintosh started the "Mother of All Demonstrations" of Douglas Engelbart early in December 1968 and showed much of the technology that Steve Jobs and Apple later commercialized. These concepts will be further designed by Xerox PARC as a working prototype Alto.

In 1984, Apple announced Macintosh as the first mass market computer with a GUI. Steve Jobs did not steal the written code or tearing method directly from PARC, but it was obvious that he got the idea from the interview. He even even started hiring some PARC engineers who worked on the Macintosh team, including Larry Tesler who later became Apple 's senior vice president and chief scientist. Xerox separated the printing business from the new business service business this year after a decline in revenues over several years. The office is still operated locally, but the two companies officially left Rochester, headquartered in Xerox, Connecticut, and Conduent, a business services company in New Jersey.

But that changed everything. It took more than a decade, but the mainstream computing user interface we are using today is the Windows and mouse model created by Xerox and created by Apple. Since the basics defined early in 1984 are still in use today, Macintosh users can recognize and use the Macintosh in 2018 in 1984. It was a year with PageMaker and Laser Printer. This is the year of 2400 baudemod and Amiga 1000. This is the year of Sony Discman and the first CD. All of these products will have an impact on the future. But if there are products that we all agree, and today we are looking to increase our retro series, it is Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
