The time when Steve Jobs, who was in love with technology, had an ambitious dream of bringing a computer to every home. A small company called Apple is actively involved in the creation of computers. Jobs then worked with his friend Steve Wozniak to develop a prototype design for the new Apple-1 computer.
Jobs then showed the prototype to Paul Terrell, a personal computer store owner, in 1976. Impressed by this prototype form, Paul pitches a business opportunity to a new company called Apple. The world will know very well what happened after that. Jobs conquered everything he touched. Apple has reached an inevitable height in the world.
