In reality, much of Apple’s foundational innovation, like the mouse and graphical user interface (GUI), was borrowed (read: stolen) from Xerox. Jobs and his team visited Xerox’s labs, and while Xerox had no idea what to do with their invention, Apple took those concepts and brought them to market. The real credit for the GUI and mouse belongs to the Xerox engineers. And then there’s Steve Wozniak and his team, the actual technical geniuses who built the Apple I and II and designed their architecture. Jobs wasn’t the one doing the engineering. He was just the face, the salesman, but not the inventor. Even beyond Apple, we tend to forget the scientists and researchers who made the actual technology possible. Without the foundational work in semiconductors, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and computer science, none of it would function. But these contributors rarely make it into the story.
