As I sit here typing away on my laptop, I would never have given a thought to the progression of the computer if it were not for this documentary. What I found most interesting was a piece of hardware called the Altair. It basically composed of switches and lights that would take forever to program. It was Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, founders of Apple, who found a purpose for the Altair and ended up developing personal computers for people to use.
Why I found this interesting is because it just goes to show that anyone is capable of doing amazing things. These guys were in their early twenties when this all happened and because of it, they ended up becoming billionaires and changing our world in the process. The funny thing is is that they weren't necessarily trying to become famous. They were just continuing to do what they loved; experimenting and trying to impress their friends.
