This week many of the tech blogs celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Apple Macintosh. One of my fav tech news sources, CBC Radio Spark, has assembled a nice montage of radio and tv clips.
The TV clip features one of Apple’s Canadian reps sitting down with a CBC reporter and showing him how to use a mouse and then manipulate it in MacPaint. Now 25 years after the fact of this game-changing hardware, it’s kind of funny to see the Apple Rep carefully explain concepts that have now become such an embedded part of our everyday vernacular: mouse, icon, pull-down menu, and click-and-drag.
