I am going to put music in your pocket" her father shouted. "What?" Lisa was confused about what she just heard of. "Hundred songs. A thousand songs. 500 songs. Somewhere between 500 and a thousand songs right in your pocket. Because I can't stand looking at that walkman you're carrying around a brick playing cassette tape. We are not savages. So I am going to put a thousand songs in your pocket." He clarified. "You can do that?" Lisa still not believed in her father's words.
Of course, not only his daughter about the music system in her pocket, even the world had not believed his words about placing a computer in the hands of everyone in the world.

In 1976, when Jobs was just 21, he and Steve Wozniak started Apple Computer in the Jobs' family garage. They funded their entrepreneurial venture by Jobs selling his Volkswagen bus and Wozniak selling his beloved scientific calculator. Jobs and Wozniak are credited with changing the computer industry with Apple by controlling the technology and making machines smaller, cheaper, automatic, and accessible to everyday consumers. With a new management team and an annual salary of $1 a year, Jobs put Apple back on track. Jobs’ creative products (like the iMac) effective branding campaigns and stylish designs caught the attention of consumers once again. In the following years, Apple introduced such big products as the Mac book Air, iPod and iPhone, all of which controlled the evolution of technology.
