Apple celebrates 30 years of the Mac with videos, tributes and trivia

The Mac turned 30 years old today and Apple is in a reminiscent mood. The Cupertino-based company has paid rich tribute to not just the first Mac but the entire line of products with a dedicated page and a video. Head on to Apple’s website today and you will be greeted with the computer’s story. “In 1984, Apple introduced the world to Macintosh,” the page reads, “It was designed to be so easy to use that people could actually use it.” It also talks about Mac promising to take technology from “the few and put in the hands of everyone”.   The dedicated page has the Mac timeline, where you can look at every single Mac that has been made, the story behind its production and miscellaneous pieces of trivia you would like to know. The timeline also features stories of famous personalities who used Mac professionally. Watch the video below, which is Apple’s tribute to the iconic computer. To pump up on nostalgia, the website has a section to talk about your first tryst with a Mac. Called “Your First Mac”, the section will have you talk about your first Mac computer using an interactive method. Choose the first Mac computer you owned and then tell Apple how you used your Mac. You can choose between business, gaming, animation, education and a lot more.   Then, of course, there’s the tribute video that lasts for almost three minutes that has some personalities talking about their experience with using a Mac. Musicians Hans Zimmer and Moby are a part of the video as are fashion and documentary photographer Nick Knight and Nike designer Tinker Hatfield.
