Apple Is 40 Years Old: How The Technology Has Changed

                                                                     

On April 1, 1976, 40 years ago, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne founded Apple Computers in the garage of Jobs’ parents’ house in Los Altos, California.

The company’s first product, Apple I, launched a year later- it is little more than a circuit board that comes without a keyboard, monitor or case; each is handmade by Wozniak and priced at $US666.66. The changes that have occurred since are simply staggering.

PERSONAL COMPUTERS
Then: The Apple I that launched in 1976 came without a monitor, keyboard, mouse or even case. It was little more than the motherboard for a computer, with 4KB of standard memory that could be expanded to 8KB or 48KB through expansion cards. It had a solely text-based interface and could show 40 x 24 characters.

Now: Apple has three laptops in its MacBook line, as well as the iMac desktop computer, where all the components are built into the 21.5 or 27-inch screen. More than just characters, the larger of the modern iMacs has a 5K resolution, meaning it is has five times the image quality of high definition. The smallest memory option is 8GB - two million times larger than the Apple I.

MUSIC
Then: In the 1990s, before the arrival of the iPod, portable CD players began to give way to the first mp3 devices. These ran on AA batteries and generally had around 32MB of storage, enough space for approximately eight songs.

Now: Just 15 years after the launch of the first iPod, many users now have access to streaming services of up to 20 million songs, stored in the cloud, that can then be streamed through a smartphone or other mobile device. Huge increases in storage also mean thousands of songs can be physically stored on music players housed within modern smartphones.

SMARTPHONES
Then: The original iPhone, released in 2007, came with either 4 or 8GB internal storage, a 3.5-inch screen with a 320 x 480 pixel resolution at 165 pixels per inch (PPI) and a two megapixel camera. At this stage it did not shoot video or have a front-facing camera. The App Store was also yet to launch and so the original iPhone came with just a handle of apps.

Now: The flagship iPhone 6s comes with a minimum of 16GB storage, four times that of the original iPhone, as well as a 4.7 or 5.5-inch screen. The smaller 6s has a PPI of 326 - nearly double that of the original screen. The 12 megapixel rear camera is six times clearer than its ancestor, while even the front-facing camera is more than double the megapixels (5).

TABLETS 
Then: Apple’s Newton MessagePad that launched in 1993 came with a stylus and had basic note-taking abilities, though this was often unreliable.

Now: The new iPad Pro has 9.7-inch display that can can run 4K video, and has access to an App Store of more than two million applications for the device. Its screen can also automatically detect light conditions and adjust the brightness and screen colours accordingly.

Apple Swift Programming Language Becomes Child’s Play

Steve Jobs Kept His Kids Away From iPads

                                                                  

Everyone likes new technology. 

iPads and other tablets have been a huge success everywhere yet I have some complaints with the new model.

I am not happy that the connector was changed, as has the latest iPhone's although there is an adpator. And I am not crazy about the latest version of iTunes. It took me ages to get my older version to look how I wanted it to look and am most reluctant to upgrade.

Having said that the new connector is a much bigger nuisance because many people, including myself, have bought products with docking stations for a different, or possibly better, home stereo experience.

This kind of thing really annoys me and I guess it must have annoyed a lot of the manufacturers who went to the trouble of creating products with docking stations for Apple products.  It would have been nice if Apple had considered this.

                                                                    

HE may have been dubbed "the master evangelist of the digital age", but even the late Steve Jobs worried about the effect technology has on children. 

While he persuaded millions that Apple's chic but pricey gadgets were a must-buy, turning the company from a basket case to a global powerhouse, he prevented his own children from using iPads and limited their access to the internet generally. 

To a generation of young people it may sound like the most boring of the seven circles of hell, but the Jobs' children would instead sit around a long dinner table in the kitchen and actually talk to one another. 

The shock revelation that Jobs' children were not uber-geeks came from United States journalist Nick Bilton, who recalled a conversation with the Apple co-founder in 2010, a year before he died. 

Jobs had called him to complain after Bilton wrote about a perceived failing of the iPad, which had just gone on sale. Bilton, writing in the New York Times, said that "after he had finished chewing me out" he had been shocked by Jobs' response to a question that was mainly designed to change the subject. 

"So, your kids must love the iPad?" he asked. But Jobs replied: "They haven't used it. We limit how much technology our kids use at home."
Bilton said he responded "with a gasp and dumbfounded Silence". 

"I had imagined the Jobs' household was like a nerd's paradise: that the walls were giant touch screens, and the dining table was made from tiles of iPads," he wrote.
Walter Isaacson, the author of the biography called simply Steve Jobs, told him later that "every evening Steve made a point of having dinner at the big long table in their kitchen, discussing books and history and a variety of things". 

"No one ever pulled out an iPad or computer. The kids did not seem addicted at all to devices," he added. 

Chris Anderson, ex-editor of technology magazine Wired, who has five children aged 6 to 17, agreed with the Jobs family approach. 

"My kids accuse me and my wife of being fascists and overly concerned about tech, and they say that none of their friends have the same rules," he told Bilton. "That's because we have seen the dangers of technology first-hand. I don't want to see that happen to my kids." 

There is some scientific support for the idea that modern technology can be damaging.

 A study, published last month, of 11- and 12-year-olds found that removing digital devices, including televisions, for five days saw an improvement in social skills.
