Just point ON JANUARY 24 1984 THE MAC WAS BORN The original mac was a revolution because it had many features that other computers did not have at that time like a mouse and a gui (graphical user interface) instead of a cli (command line interface) which meant you had to know how to code.


and click Why was the orginal mac so revolutionary Before 1984 computers where somthing that required a lot off skill to use, you had to be quite knolagble in programming as all softwear had to hand wiritten. like the IBM pc below

The mac changed all that with it revoultianry grapical user interface which made easy for people with no coding skills to use although it was not very sucsefull it change the face of computing . The original mac was devlopeded using ideas that had only just been at the concept stage copmpared to its predicessor the apple two the mac was following Steve Jobs idea which was to personal computers that where easy to use to do thish they implimentd new technology such as the mose this was not invented by Apple but the where the first to make widley used,another key concepted the fact the hardwere and softwere would not be open Job’s made clear that he wanted s totlay closed system many of the team desing the macintosh did not like the idea of closed system because it ment upgrades to hardwere which ment the usible life span of the system was reduced. After the 512 k macintosch wich was only few months after the intail lanch of the 128k (k refering the amount of ram in killobytes) the 512k had a redesiend mother board which was capible of minor upgardes for example the ram this dew to complaints for costmere of the original 128k not having enough ram.
