The Apple "Macintosh" was a ground-breaking computer from Apple Inc. This invention, from Steve Jobs and company, empowered regular people (not tech geeks;) to do things on a computer without having to type-in a programming language. The Macintosh had a graphically interactive interface (screen) that was navigated (moved around on) using a device called a "mouse."
To go with this computer pioneering moment, on January 22nd of 1984, Apple jump-started Macintosh sales, and its company's credibility, by showcasing the "Mac" worldwide during a Super Bowl XVIII television commercial (see below).
