Happy 28th Birthday, Macintosh! Watch Steve Jobs Unveil the Original in 1984

Twenty-eight years ago today, Steve Jobs rocked the computing world by introducing the original Macintosh – an iconic desktop computer that would forever shake the foundations of the computer industry.

The launch was accompanied by Apple’s famous “Think Different” commercial – a poetic tribute to creative genius, and the rare few who dared to think they could chance the world.

Steve Jobs himself was just 28 year old when he first demoed the Macintosh in front of an audience of 3000 people. To celebrate the birth of the Macintosh, why not watch Steve Jobs as he unveil the Macintosh to the amazed cheers of all in attendance:

Indeed, the presentation marked one of the very most important moments in the history of Apple, and one of Steve Jobs all-time best public presentations! A lot can happen in 28 years!

Thanks for creating such an incredible legacy, Steve! You will be missed.
