The Evolution of Apple in Photos

This is the 1976 Apple I

As you might have noticed we have somewhat strayed from doing too much coverage of the death of Steve Jobs.  We are a blog that is highly opinionated and we’d rather that coverage go to major news outlets.  Don’t get me wrong.  We certainly respect Jobs and honor him.  It’s just that as far as reporting goes, it’s not really what we do.

However, what I was amazed at is something that CBS News covered.   They ran a piece on the evolution of Apple and all the amazing work that Jobs was a part of, and really was the lead man of.

And when you see it in picture form like we have presented you can really get a feel for how amazing this stuff is.  I mean you see designs from the 70s that saw right into the future.   Anyway, here’s a 45 picture phototorial of Apple from the 70s until now…..
