Who would forget how Steve Jobs and his friend Steve Wozniak when they came up with Apple II and how this personal computer transformed how people work 1980s. If it wasn't for the invention of the two, we would never know how beneficial computers can be in our daily lives and professional careers.

From the invention of Apple II, Steve Jobs is also one of the great minds behind the innovative alterations in personal computers with the introduction of iPad. This fusion of glass and aluminum paved its way from laptops and netbooks and created a niche of its own. Its skyrocketing sales proved that people want small and lightweight yet very functional devices.

The Mac Operating System may not have been much a competition to its rivals like Windows and Linux. However, Mac OS boasts accessibility and stability, which are lacking from other operating systems.

The iPhone and iPods are not mere devices for a person's convenience; they became innovative gadgets that can do so much more. The devices were linked with other Apple's technologies allowing users to get more than what they paid for.
