有人曾說,三個(gè)蘋果改變了世界,第一個(gè)蘋果誘惑了夏娃,第二個(gè)蘋果砸醒了牛頓,第三個(gè)蘋果曾握在史蒂夫·喬布斯的掌中。那么三個(gè)“蘋果”之后的世界,正在被誰改變?
這種巨大而迅速的變革,離不開IT行業(yè)日新月異的發(fā)展,離不開我們?nèi)σ愿暗谋寂埽x不開我們適時(shí)地停下腳步去思考,去學(xué)習(xí)他們的思維模式。今天就讓我們一起放慢腳步,回過頭去,重新體味一下三位IT大佬昔日的風(fēng)采和創(chuàng)造力。

'There have only been two milestone products in our industry to date,' Steve Jobs told the Boston Computing Club in 1984. 'The first was Apple II in 1977 and the second was IBM PC in 1981.' Jobs, at the time, was announcing the third breakthrough – the Apple Mac.
