This tech corporation has repeatedly been named one of the world’s most admired __companies_________________. Learn more about the origins and history of Apple. Early Days Apple Computers was _____founded______________ by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in Cupertino, California on April 1, 1976. Wozniak was the ____engineer________________ behind the computers, while Jobs had the mind for _________buisness____________. The pair struggled to keep the company afloat in early days; however they succeeded in funding the venture without ever giving up shares in the company. Apple I Apple’s first ________product_________ was 1976’s Apple I. Compared to its competition, this machine used few _______components____________. This was mainly due to the company’s limited budget. Steve Wozniak: “When you work on low ______resources______________ and you’re trying to do it yourself with very few parts, you’re trying to be clever you’re trying to think out the whole ______solution_____________ in the shortest number of steps.” This made the Apple I a feat of engineering, and it remained on the _______marquet_____________ until late 1977. The Invention of the Home Computer The upgraded Apple II was first _____sold________________ in June of that year. Ready to go right out of the box, it was a huge ______success______________ commercially and is recognized for establishing the market for home computers by being accessible and affordable. The Apple II remained the company’s main source of revenue for many years, and by the end of 1980 over one hundred thousand had been sold. 1980’s Apple III was prone to overheating, and was a ______fealing_________________for the company. Apple Goes Public However, 1980 was also the year Apple went public. The company generated more millionaires than any other before it, and the popularity of its founders was _______incrising______________. Steve Wozniak: “We started Apple: by 1980, I was going to computer _______shorts______________ and – you know – we’re kinda going public, we’ve made a lot of money, we’ve been in the press long before that, Steve and I. And people are always asking me for an autograph – huh? What do you mean? I was just an engineer, I just did an engineer’s job, I designed a good computer.” Apple LISA Meanwhile, Apple was __buisy__________________ at work designing the Apple LISA. Released in June 1983, it proved to be a ____powerful________________ concept and not a market success. However, it pioneered such terminology as the mouse, icon, and desktop. It was also Apple’s first graphical user interface model, which meant consumers interacted with __images______________ rather than text commands. 1984 Commercial Apple’s next triumph came during the Super Bowl in January 1984. Steve Wozniak: “The 1984 commercial kind of showed a free-running person overturning somebody who’s dictating 'this is the way it’s going to be. You have no free _______far__________ of your own.' That was the theme of that commercial.” Launch of Macintosh This ad introduced the Apple Macintosh to the American public, and is now considered one of the prime examples of U.S. ____advertising___________________. It was just one part of Apple’s aggressive and ______expensive___________ advertising campaign for the launch of the Macintosh computer, which was released just a few days later. Stand-out in the Market The Mac was loved by some and hated by others. Because of its ____ridical_______________ differences from the rest of the market, it initially suffered from a lack of software. It was even ____incomparable_______________ with the popular Apple II. Steve Wozniak: “We lost software in those areas, the left brain areas: accounting, law and engineering. A lot of the software is geared towards PCs, that’s where it exists now.” Mac + Adobe Eventually an affiliation with Adobe helped the Mac brand become the _____standard_______________ for computer users in specific industries. Steve Wozniak: “We could handle such things as __photography_________________, with PhotoShop, and videography with programs like Adobe Premiere shortly after the Avid was out. So we could do video editing and photography work and ____graphics_______________ much earlier because we had enough memory to do it. […] So all the artists and the video people and the producers and the movie people all got into Macintoshes and one you’re into it you love it so much it’s very difficult to pry you away.” The Steves Leave Despite Apple’s success, problems within the company forced Steve Jobs to _____live______________ in 1985. Steve Wozniak left in 1987, though he is still a paid employee. Apple for Home Users, Mac for Professionals Meanwhile, Apple continued to market its two _________brands___________ to different pieces of the population: the Apple II series was best for home users, while more experienced professionals tended towards the Macintosh. Increasing Popularity of Windows However by the 1990s, Apple was struggling. IBM was handily ______wining_______________ the marketplace on the success of Windows. Steve Wozniak: “When __IBM_______________ came out, they had sales forces in all the big businesses. The market for home computers really wasn’t going to fit the Apple too well. The market for small business computers was much huger, so we kind of ____lost________________ the business market.” Return of Jobs At the end of 1996, Apple ______purchased_____________ Steve Jobs’ new company, NeXT, and brought the founder back to the company. Jobs went on to become CEO, and in December 1997 he introduced the online Apple Store. That same year the company announced a partnership with ____rival________________ Microsoft that saw Apple adopt Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer as part of its default programs.

With ______hundereds__________________________ of products sold worldwide, Apple is quickly losing its status as a counterculture icon and becoming a mainstay of the mainstream.

reading computer addiction

CComputer addiction

I was walking around on Saturday afternoon. It was cold and it was starting to rain. I was looking for a restaurant or a café where I could sit and have something to drink. When I saw one, I crossed the street and I was there. I sat at a round table and asked for a cup of coffee. While I was waiting for my order, I realised that there were other people in the place, but I sensed loneliness. I saw their bodies, but I couldn't feel their souls. That was because their souls didn't belong to them; instead they belonged to the Internet.

I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man sitting in front of it. "I'm Steve", he finally answered after I had asked him a couple of times what his name was."I can't talk with you. I'm busy," he said. I thought he was working, and I doing. I stood behind him. He was not working. He was chatting online with somebody-probably someone he didn't know- and, at the same time, he was playing a computer game- a war game. I was astonished.

Why didn't Steve want to talk to me? I tried again to communicate with that computer geek, but not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but there was no reaction. I was getting upset. I put my hand in front of the monitor, and he started shouting, "leave me alone!" I took a few steps back. I was ashamed. I wanted to look and see if all those people in the cafe were looking at me, so raised my head, but there was nobody interested in what was happening. I walked back to my table, and I noticed everybody was using a computer.

At that moment, I realised that the people in that place were having a cup of coffee and a nice conversation with their machines, not with people. All of them were more interested in having a relationship with the computer, particularly Steve. I wouldn't want to imagine the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines instead of people. I was worried and I sank in my thoughts. I didn't even realise that the coffee was bad, just as Steve didn't even realise that there was a person next to him.

3) What are the four characteristics gamers do well? How could you apply them in real life to make the world a better place? Do you agree with her opinion? What do you find interesting about what she says and what do you disagree with? Why?

Urgent optimism: it's like when the games addicts act immediately to tackle an obstacle

Social Fabric: the game addicts shows that we like people better after we play a game with them.

Blisful productivity: the people play a lot of time a game because when they 're playing are doing a happier working.

epic meaning: gamers like to be attached and pass missions in the games.

this could be applyed in the real live simulaiting that the real live is  a video game.

1. Translate the following text into Catalan: 

Today, if we just want to browse the web, we can do almost everything with one program - a web browser. A browser is one kind of 'net interface'. Net interfaces are programs which sit between you and the internet and help you and the Net make sense to each other. The browser takes care of the technical details of connecting you to the web, and makes sure that the information from the internet arrives in a way that makes sense to you. It also finds out what you want to do, and passes on the information in a way that the internet can understand.

Avui en dia, si nosaltres volem un navegador web, nosaltres ho podem fer amb un programa, el navegador web. el navegador es un tipus de interficia d'internet. les interficies d'internet son programes que derrera teu i d'internet i t'ajuda i interent ho fa mutuament. els navegadors agafes les dades tecniques i et conecten a la web, i s'asseguren que la infomació de internet arriva de manera que es pugui entendre. Aixo troba el que ha de fer per tu i passa la informacio d'una manera que la puguis entendre.
Websites are built in different ways. Pages that contain a lot of information but are not very interactive are called 'static' pages. These are usually written in a language called HTML (HyperText Markup Language). Interactive pages can be written in VBS (Visual Basic Script) or in JavaScript. Because it can be dangerous to run unknown programs, many interactive websites today use interactive scripts that don't run on your computer. These scripts often use a language developed for Personal Home Pages (php)

Les webs estan fetes de diferentes maneras, les pagines que contenen molta informacio pero no son inetractives es diuen estatiques. aquestes son normlment escrites amb HTML. les pagines interactives poden ser escrites amb VBS o amb JavaSrip. perque pot ser perillos de fer servir programes que no saps que son, molta pagines interactives avui fan servir equips interactius que no van be al teu ordinador. aquests scips solen estar fets amb php.

Ahir vaig buscar informació per internet, però no vaig trobar la resposta a l'exercici de l'examen. Demà li demanaré al professor.

Estic pensant en la meva pàgina web, crec que la programaré diferent, he decidit fer-la més fàcil de fer servir.

Steve Jobs va canviar la manera com vivim, ara tots utilitzem l'ordinador cada dia i a totes hores. Sembla que en el futur encara l'utilitzarem més.

Un cop a la setmana jugo a l'ordinador amb uns amics de Màlaga, la resta de dies jugo sol i normalment jugo a altres jocs.

Once a week I play computer with my Malaga's friends, the rest of the days I play alone and usually I play with my other friends.
