In the computer industry, the term Macintosh is the name given to one of the most famous computer chains in history. It was created in the 70s, by an Apple Computer worker, the American Jef Raskin. This person had the idea of creating a computer that was inexpensive and easy for users to use; in addition to this, he wanted to name it after a type of apple that he loved: the Mcintosh.
However, it could not be given this name, since when pronounced, it phonetically resembled that of the producer Mcintosh audio machines, and this could cause certain legal inconveniences. This is how it is decided then, to better name it Macintosh; a fact that marked the emergence of a type of computer of great renown in the history of computing.
The manufacturing project of this computer was inspired by " Lisa ", this was one of the computers, which at that time, the Apple company used. For the design of the Macintosh, we had the collaboration of some experts in the area such as Bill Atkinson (distinguished Apple Computer worker), Burrell Smith (self-taught expert). Each of these great collaborators contributed their grain of sand in the design and manufacture of the Macintosh software and hardware.
At the beginning of the 80s Steve Jobs became a little more interested in the Macintosh project, since it showed a commercial capacity superior to the Lisa processor. As a result of this situation, a conflict of interest arose, which resulted in Raskin deciding to withdraw from the project, leaving Steve Jobs as its main founder.
Among the innovations shown by the Macintosh were: a more ingenious and simple to use graphical user context. This was necessary in an environment where computers work through commands. Another of his contributions was to move the mouse or mouse to the public. This was a device that was not used much in existing computers at that time; although it was not a novelty, since the "Lisa" had included one (a mouse), which was used as a tool for interaction with the interface. However, the only one that made this device available to users was the Macintosh.
