Chapter 5 of Steve Jobs: The Apple I

In chapter 5 of the book Steve jobs it is mainly about the new technology that is coming out in the 1990s. In the 1990s the new technology that was coming out was video games, and new computers. the computer company HP did not confirm there new model. Apple made its first phase ¨Turn on, boot up, jack in¨. In 1990 the homebrew computer club was created. Apple´s first computer was called the Apple I. The Apple I looked like a typewriter but it was not. This part of the book is going to be interesting to me because now I am learning how Apple Inc. got its name and why many different people trust them so much.

Steve Jobs Chapter 4

In chapter 4 it talks about how Jobs started his own business and takes a loan of $50,000. Jobs spent a few months thinking of a name for his business. After he named his business apple he was searching for people to work with him. He found one person to co-own apple but he needed some training. I think that Jobs will find someone else to take his place and find some other people that want to work for him.

Steve Jobs Chapter 3

In chapter 3 of Steve Jobs it talks about how he drops out high school. 17 years later his parents pledged that they would adopt him.

The places I want to go to and why I want to go there

The first place I want to go to is the Grand Canyon because it looks like a peaceful place to be. The Grand Canyon is located in the state of Arizona in the United States. The reason why I want to go there is because it was created by a glacier and it also one of Americas landmarks.













The next place I want to go to is in oklahoma because of historic Route 66. Route 66 has been part of the United States for so long and it is well known in the movie Cars. There is a lot of great scenery on route 66. Route 66 is one of the oldest routes in the Untied States.








I would also go to Nashville because there is a country music museum there and they have alot on Hank Williams Sr. Hank Williams Sr is one of the best traditional country music singers during his time. I love country music especially the older songs. One of my Hank Williams songs is, "Your Cheatin Hart"





In the same Nashville museum they have some things in Hank Williams son Hank Williams Jr. Hank Jr was a little like his father but he did modernize his music. This museum is the perfect museum for me because I would go there and learn a lot about my country music heroes and  idols. Hank Williams Jr is that one of the few country singers that actually sing with Waylon Jennings.
