The Appl🏅e-1, the first pre-assembled personal computer to come to market, was the debut product of Apple Computer, the company that would grow to become one of the world’s largest. 🍸The Steve Wozniak-designed computer was one of the first to integrate video display terminal circuitry into its circuit board: a revolutionary step at a time when most computers used blinking lights and switches as an interface. The Apple-1 with a television screen and keyboard was a computer that was accessible to an audience well beyond hobbyists.
The founders, Wozniak and Steve Jobs were friends steeped in the counterculture of the late 1960s and early ‘70s. They exemplified the next generation of Silicon Valley entrepreneurial spirit where government research,🌌 psychedelic experience, creative cooperation and an openness to unexplored possibility came together.
The Apple-1 will be part of Sotheby’s Geek Week History of Science &a🍨mp; Technolꦡogy Sale in New York on 2 July 2025.
