Iminyaka engama-32 kusukela ku-Velvet Revolution: Ibuphi ubuchwepheshe obabubukeka ngo-1989 nokuthi i-Apple yayinikela ngani

Namuhla, sekudlule iminyaka engu-17 kusukela kuVelvet Revolution, eyenzeka ngoNovemba 1989, 32. Nakuba amashumi amathathu eminyaka angase angabonakali njengesikhathi eside kakhulu, ahluke kakhulu endabeni yobuchwepheshe. Ubuchwepheshe buthuthuka ngesivinini esimangalisayo. Ngemuva kwakho konke, lokhu kungabonwa, ngokwesibonelo, ngisho naku-iPhones noma ama-Mac angakabikho amadala. Sicela uzame ukuqhathanisa, isibonelo, i-iPhone 3S ne-MacBook Pro (6) ne-iPhone 2015 nama-Macs anamuhla nge-M13 chip. Kepha babunjani ubuchwepheshe ngo-1 futhi i-Apple yanikela ngani ngaleso sikhathi?

Uhambo olufushane oluya emlandweni

I-inthanethi namakhompyutha

Ngaphambi kokuthi sibheke ukuthi i-Apple yakhombisa ini ngo-1989, ake sibheke ubuchwepheshe benkathi yangaphambili ngokujwayelekile. Kudingekile ukuveza ukuthi amakhompyutha omuntu siqu ayesencane futhi abantu babengaphupha nge-inthanethi yobukhulu banamuhla. Noma kunjalo, kufanele sikuveze ukuthi kwakungalo nyaka lapho usosayensi waseBrithani u-Tim Berners-Lee, ngaleso sikhathi owayesebenzela i-European Organization for Nuclear Research, asungula lokho okubizwa ngokuthi i-World Wide Web, noma i-WWW, ezindaweni zokucwaninga lapho. . Lesi bekuyisiqalo se-inthanethi yanamuhla. Kuyathakazelisa futhi lokho ikhasi lokuqala le-WWW yayisebenza kukhompuyutha ye-NeXT yososayensi. Kwakule nkampani, i-NeXT Computer, eyasungulwa nguSteve Jobs ngemuva kokuxoshwa kwa-Apple ngo-1985.

Yilokhu Ikhompyutha ye-NeXT eyayibukeka ngayo ngo-1988. Emuva ngaleso sikhathi yayibiza u-$ 6, namuhla izobiza u-$ 500 (cishe imiqhele eyizinkulungwane ezingu-14).

Ngakho-ke sinokubuka okubucayi kwefomu lamakhompyutha "omuntu siqu" ngaleso sikhathi. Uma sibheka intengo, nokho, kuyasicacela ukuthi lena bekungeyona neze imishini yasendlini ejwayelekile. Phela, inkampani ye-NEXT ihlose ikakhulukazi engxenyeni yezemfundo, ngakho-ke amakhompyutha ngaleso sikhathi ayesetshenziselwa ucwaningo ezikhungweni ezihlukahlukene namanyuvesi. Ngenxa nje yokuthakasela, akulimazi ukusho ukuthi ngo-1989 inkampani edume kakhulu i-Intel yethula iprosesa ye-486DX. Lokhu bekubalulekile ikakhulukazi ngenxa yokusekelwa kwe-multitasking kanye nenani elimangalisayo lama-transistors - ayengaphezu kwesigidi. Kodwa umehluko othakazelisayo ungabonakala uma uyiqhathanisa ne-chip yakamuva evela ku-Apple, i-M1 Max evela ochungechungeni lwe-Apple Silicon, olunikeza i-57 billion. Ngakho-ke iphrosesa ye-Intel inikeze kuphela u-0,00175% walokho okunikezwa yi-chip yanamuhla evela ku-Apple.

Omakhalekhukhwini

Ngo-1989, omakhalekhukhwini ngokuqondakalayo babengekho esimweni esihle kakhulu. Ngehaba elincane, kungashiwo ukuthi empeleni ayengekho kubantu abavamile ngaleso sikhathi, futhi ngaleyondlela kwakuyikusasa elikude kakhulu. Iphayona eliyinhloko kwakuyinkampani yaseMelika iMotorola. Ngo-Ephreli 1989, wethula ifoni yeMotorola MicroTAC, eyaba ngeyokuqala iselula futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo i-flip phone nhlobo. Ngokwezindinganiso zangaleso sikhathi, kwakuyithuluzi elincane ngempela. Yayilinganisa u-9″ kuphela futhi inesisindo esingaphansi kuka-350 amagremu. Noma kunjalo, singabiza le modeli ngokuthi "isitini" namuhla, njengoba ngokwesibonelo i-iPhone 13 Pro Max yamanje, okungenzeka ibe nkulu kakhulu futhi isindayo kwabanye, inesisindo "kuphela" esingama-238 amagremu.

Lokho u-Apple akunikeza ngesikhathi seVelvet Revolution

Ngawo lowo nyaka, lapho kwenzeka i-Velvet Revolution ezweni lakithi, i-Apple yaqala ukuthengisa amakhompyutha amasha amathathu futhi eceleni kwawo, isibonelo, imodemu ye-Apple Modem 2400 kanye nabaqaphi abathathu. Ngokungangabazeki, okuthakazelisa kakhulu ikhompyutha ye-Macintosh Portable, engabonakala njengomanduleli we-PowerBooks ethandwayo. Ngokungafani nemodeli ephathwayo, nokho, lezi zazifana nokuma kwamalaptop anamuhla futhi ayehamba ngempela.

IMacintosh ephathekayo

I-Macintosh Portable, ongayibuka kugalari engenhla, bekuyikhompyutha yokuqala ephathekayo yakwa-Apple, kodwa ibingalungile impela. Isisindo salo modeli sasingamakhilogremu angu-7,25, okuthi, uvume ngokwakho, awufuni ukuthwala njalo. Ngisho nokwakhiwa kwekhompuyutha yanamuhla kungaba lula kancane. Nokho, kowamanqamu umuntu angasishaya indiva isisindo. Inani libe libi kakhulu. I-Apple ikhokhise u-$7 wale khompyutha, okungaba cishe u-$300 emalini yanamuhla. Namuhla, i-Macintosh Portable ingakubiza cishe imiqhele engama-14. Idivayisi ayizange iphumelele kabili kowamanqamu futhi.

Izindaba ze-Apple kusukela ngo-1989:

• I-Macintosh SE/30
• I-Macintosh IIcx
• I-Apple Two Page Monochrome Monitor
• I-Apple Macintosh Portrait Display
• I-Apple High-Resolution Monochrome Display
• I-Apple Modem 2400
• I-Macintosh SE FDHD
• I-Apple FDHD SuperDrive
• Macintosh IIci
• IMacintosh ephathekayo
• I-Apple IIGS (1 MB, ROM 3)

Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Apple yayiseneminyaka engu-9 kusukela kwasungulwa i-iMac G3 ethandwayo, iminyaka engu-11 kusukela ku-iPod yokuqala, iminyaka engu-16 kusukela ku-Mac mini yokuqala neminyaka engu-18 kusukela ku-iPhone edume manje, eyaletha uguquko emkhakheni wama-smartphone. Uma unentshisekelo kumugqa wesikhathi ophelele okhombisa ukwethulwa kwawo wonke amadivaysi e-Apple ethulwe, akufanele nakanjani uphuthelwe isikimu esakhiwe kahle yi-TitleMax.
