Three apples that changed the world

‘Three Apples Changed the World: Adams, Newton and Steve Jobs.’

These words were among the countless tributes expressed on social media on the death of Steve Jobs, the world-famous manufacturer of personal computers and computing equipment and co-founder of the American company Apple, which has achieved high reputation in the world. In almost all places on the internet, including social networks like Twitter and Facebook, Steve Jobs was described as the main force behind the Apple company, which has achieved fame not only in America but also in the world. He introduced his extraordinary talent by bringing to the market products that created a stir in the world such as Mac computers (Macintosh computers), iPods, music players, iPhone mobiles and iPad tablet personal computers.

Steve Jobs, who is considered one of the superstars of the modern technology industry, is said to have visited India in the early stages of his career, that is, in his youth, in search of happiness, peace and prosperity and to achieve nirvana. But he was not satisfied there and returned to America. At that time, he found India poorer than he had imagined, but later in the 2000s, when he was thinking about setting up a computer business in India, he found India to be too expensive for his computer business and could not set up the industry. The dissatisfaction he had experienced during his visit to India in the 1970s led him to enter the technology industry and founded Apple Computer.

In his biography, ‘The Little Kingdom – The Private Story of Apple Computer’, Jobs is quoted as saying – “It began to dawn on me for the first time that Karl Marx and Neem Karauli Baba together had probably contributed more to making the world a better place than Thomas Edison alone.”

Jobs had gone to meet Neem Karauli Baba at the age of 18 with his friend Dan Kottke. Both American youths had left their college studies and came to India. Later, after returning to America, they were established as the first employees of Apple Computer. When Jobs returned to America, he was suffering from health problems.

Steve, who earned fame by presenting good products, had to face various criticisms about his products. Especially, his products were criticized for not being reusable, expensive and not environmentally friendly. But all these were his specialties. He only focused on the high use of cable technology and customer convenience. It was true that even in a country like America, people had to stand in line to buy an iPhone despite its high cost. The demand for Apple's products before that was always high. Because any Apple product was neat, beautiful and high-tech.

Steve Jobs was not present when Apple's latest great product, the iPhone-4, was launched in the market, while this was the company's first major project in the last few years for the Apple company. Jobs had resigned as CEO of the company in August due to health problems. CEO Tim Cook, who was presented as Jobs' successor, led the project and launched the new iPhone 4. This iPhone is said to be Apple's best product. It is equipped with a dual-core A-5 processor. This phone is made by Samsung. It is said to have 7 times better graphics than other mobiles, due to which videos and games can be enjoyed more.
