| Bill Fernandez, one of the first apple employees |
I guess most of the readers won't be familiar with the name of Bill Fernandez. Are you? Well, he is just the student that introduced Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, two geniuses in their own fields. There is no doubt now on the impact of this couple made in the world after they met in 1970 in the beautiful Northern California.
Do you imagine what would have happened if Jobs had never met Wozniak in first place? Maybe the first personal computer created by Wozniak would have never be launched in the market. Maybe some other smart guy would have years later. Maybe Jobs would have stayed in India looking for enlightenment or end up working at HP, who knows? Since we could speculate on what could have happened for hours, let's talk about the facts.
Currently Apple is one of the biggest companies in the world by capitalization, one of the big players in developing disruptive technologies and products as the Mac, Ipod, Iphone,... and who knows what else is there to come from them given the huge amount of talent inside Cuppertino's offices. Unfortunately the talents of Steve Jobs is no longer with Apple but its culture still reflects the spirit of who once was the legendary CEO.
Would Jobs have become JOBS without Wozniak, I doubt it; Would Wozniak's inventions impact in such scale without Jobs, I doubt it too. So I thank Bill for his addition to one of the most stunning partnerships that ever existed.
