Etymology

The word 'Macintosh' comes from the name of a breed of apple called the McIntosh, which was popularized by John McIntosh, a Canadian farmer who cultivated the apple in the early 19th century. The computer's name was chosen by Apple co-founder Jef Raskin, who was inspired by his love for apples and the simplicity of the name. The first Macintosh was introduced by Apple Inc. on January 24, 1984, during a now-legendary Super Bowl commercial directed by Ridley Scott. This launch was a significant moment in computing history, marking the transition from command-line interfaces to graphical user interfaces, which have since become the standard in personal computers. Over the years, the Macintosh lineup has evolved, incorporating advanced technologies and software applications that cater to various professional and personal uses, solidifying its place in both the tech industry and popular culture.
