Pirates of Silicon Valley

Question 7

Bill Gates and Paul Allen created the programming for The Altair minicomputer. This was important in the computing era because it would top the rest of the company and it would be a new level of competition.

Question 12

Question 8

Question 5

Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak had economic competition because they were poor. They couldn't afford most of the equipment so they had to find investors for the company.

The HP Company got first access to Steve Wozniak's inventions. When Steve brought the computer they thought there was no necessity and that no one would want it or need it. The company felt as if it wasn't for '' regular people''.

Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak met at Homestead High School when a student named Bill Fernandez introduced them. They became friends when the both worked with computer making at Hewlett Packard Company.

Question 10

Steve Jobs shaved his beard so that he looked more like a businessman, before with the beard looked less professional. This showed that Steve Jobs was ready to take action and he was desperate for people to purchase his creation. Also most banks didn't like beards.

Question 4

Question 6

The Macintosh 1984 ad ran on the Superbowl sporting event. The meaning behind this ad is that everyone would see the ad but it would only run once on the Superbowl.

Question 3

Steve Jobs and Steve Jobs manufacture and sold the Blue Box.

Question 13

• Steve Jobs: Steve Jobs is a remarkable man who created the Apple company. He wasn't so pleasant towards his employees, he was very stubborn and it seemed as if he had anger problems.
• Steve Wozniak: Steve Wozniak was best friends with Steve Jobs. He was a very intelligent man and he knew what decisions to make. He was a great friend because he stood by Steve Jobs through some pretty tough times.
• Bill Gates: Bill Gates is one of the richest men in the world. He is very street smart and he knows how to get what he wants through people.

I think Steve Jobs named his company ''Apple'' because research says that his father had a farm and grew apples and Steve Jobs loved apples.

Question 2

Question 11

Question One

I believe that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are both thieves and pirates. They have stolen equipment to create the computers and they both pirated ideas from each other. I feel that they deserve less respect than what they really have because they are considered frauds. All they did was steal stuff and change little details on things.

The Altair was created so that people could use it to make life easier. Also so that people could research things and learn about new things in easier ways.

Question 9

• I believe the movie is titled '' Pirates of the Silicon Valley'' because there are both teams called Apple and Microsoft that go against each other creating computers but they are from the same place.

The enemies of Apple is Microsoft and IBM.They represented big competition and they would take their ideas and play around with them and create something even better.
