NGL, I'm inspired by Alexander, Napoleon, Caesar, etc., but I hate the fact that most of these guys were simply born into privilege, happened to be in the right place at the right time, and got all the credit. History loves a simplified headline: on

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.

We’re the same species that jailed Galileo and forced Socrates to drink poison. Nikola Tesla died broke and ridiculed, while Thomas Edison was glorified. Yes, Alexander was a military genius. Yes, he was ambitious. Yes, he had a strong sense of justice for his time. Heck, he’s my inspiration. But what about the fact that he was born into royalty and inherited a great army? What about the men who fought for him, reduced to "numbers," and "statistics"?

Every great myth starts in a garage. And in 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak gave us one of the best. It wasn’t glamorous. It wasn’t even a startup, really. It was two guys in a suburban Los Altos garage, one a technical wizard (Woz), the other a
