  • The Identification and Division of Steve Jobs
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Scott M. Anderson for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Speech Communication, Speech Communication, and English presented on May 17, 2012. Title: The Identification and Division of Steve Jobs Abstract approved: Mark P. Moore On April 1, 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak entered into a partnership agreement to found Apple Computer. In the decade that followed, Apple experienced remarkable growth and success, as Jobs catapulted Apple to the Fortune 500 list of top‐flight companies faster than any other company in history. Under direction of Jobs, Apple, an idea that started in a garage, transformed into a major force in the computer industry of the 1980s. Though Jobs’ leadership undoubtedly influenced Apple’s success during this time, in 1995, he was forced to resign, when conflicts mounted at the executive level. Using Kenneth Burke’s theory of identification and the dramatistic process, this thesis examines Jobs’ discourse through a series of interviews and textual artifacts. First, I provide a framework for Jobs’ acceptance and rejection of the social order at Apple, and then consider the ways in which Jobs identified with employee and consumer audiences on the basis of division. Analysis shows that Jobs identified with individual empowerment, but valued separation and exclusivity. Jobs’ preference to create identification through division, therefore, established the foundation for new identifications to emerge. The findings of this study suggest that division has significant implications for creating unity. ©Copyright by Scott M.

  • The History of Apple Inc
    The History of Apple Inc. Veronica Holme-Harvey 2-4 History 12 Dale Martelli November 21st, 2018 Apple Inc is a multinational corporation that creates many different types of electronics, with a large chain of retail stores, “Apple Stores”. Their main product lines are the iPhone, iPad, and Macintosh computer. The company was founded by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak and was created in 1977 in Cupertino, California. Apple Inc. is one of the world’s largest and most successful companies, recently being the first US company to hit a $1 trillion value. They shaped the way computers operate and look today, and, without them, numerous computer products that we know and love today would not exist. Although Apple is an extremely successful company today, they definitely did not start off this way. They have a long and complicated history, leading up to where they are now. Steve Jobs was one of the co-founders of Apple Inc. and one of first developers of the personal computer era. He was the CEO of Apple, and is what most people think of when they think ”the Apple founder”. Besides this, however, Steve Jobs was also later the chairman and majority shareholder of Pixar, and a member of The Walt Disney Company's board of directors after Pixar was bought out, and the founder, chairman, and CEO of NeXT. Jobs was born on February 24th, 1955 in San Francisco, California. He was raised by adoptive parents in Cupertino, California, located in what is now known as the Silicon Valley, and where the Apple headquarters is still located today.

  • Allied Computer Store and the First Apple II Computer
    Allied Computer Store and the first Apple II computer. By Michael Holley http://www.swtpc.com/mholley/Apple/allied_computer.htm Written Nov 2005, revised Feb 2016 When I was going to the College of San Mateo (1975-1977) I worked at a local computer store, Allied Computers. My job was to assemble computers kits. This included IMSAI, Processor Tech, SWTPC and any other kit that a customer wanted assembled. I would take my pay in computer parts. The first pay check was a SWTPC CT-1024 terminal followed by a SWTPC 6800 computer. By November of 1976 I had a complete system running BASIC. Chet Harris, the store owner, was trying to set up a chain like the Byte Shops and Computer Land. I got to meet some interesting people then, like a field trip to Bill Godbout's where we met Bill and George Morrow. Chet and I went to the Computer Shack store in San Leandro to talk with the management in early 1977. Radio Shack claimed trademark infringement on name Computer Shack so it was changed to Computer Land. One of our customers at Allied Computer was Bill Kelly. He was working for Regis McKenna Advertising on the Apple II introduction. He has a web page that talks about the early days at Apple Computer. (www.kelleyad.com/Histry.htm) He had worked on the Intel account and had an Intel SDK-80 evaluation board that he gave me in exchange for a power supply for his prototype Apple II board. (I still have that SDK-80 board with tiny BASIC.) We sold Apple II main boards before the plastic case was ready.

It defines the qualities of the hypertext narrative and looks specifically at how hyperfiction has utilized these qualities. It outlines the aspects of hypertext relevant to shaping an online narrative and then considers how those aspects of hypertext could be applied to one of the forms of narrative, the online news story, that up to this point has not effectively utilized screen-based text. The online news story is an example of words on a screen functioning in much the same way they have for hundreds of years on the newspaper page. This thesis focuses specifically on the application of hypertext theory to online newspaper because of the precarious place in which that media finds itself as it works to adapt to the age of the Internet.
