#Onthisday forty years ago, the Macintosh was first introduced to the public 🍎 This computer was brainstormed by Apple employee Jef Raskin during the 1970s, who wanted to create an easy-to-use, affordable personal computer for the average person. He had wanted to name the computer after his favourite type of apple, the McIntosh, but the name had to be changed for legal reasons. The first Macintosh was introduced on January 24 1984 by Steve Jobs. The groundbreaking product was the first commercially successful personal computer to feature two known but still unpopular features - the mouse and the graphical user interface. Since the computers’ arrival, it has gradually evolved into the sleek design we know today.
