Mu myaka ya 1970, muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, mu mujyi wa Los Altos muri California, umusore witwa Steve Jobs yari afite inzozi zitandukanye n’iz’abandi. Mu gihe abandi bari bashishikajwe no kubona akazi keza cyangwa gukomeza amashuri, we yarotaga gukora ikintu gishya cyahindura isi — ndetse icyo kintu cyaje kwitwa Apple.
1. Intangiriro y’umusore w’udacogora
Steve Jobs yavukiye mu 1955 i San Francisco, ariko akiri uruhinja yaje kurererwa n’ababyeyi bamurereye, Paul na Clara Jobs. Akiri muto, yari umwana w’inyangamugayo, w’utinya gusuzugurwa kandi ufite amatsiko ku buryo ikintu cyose cyakoraga amubazaga “kuki bimeze bityo?”
Jobs yakunze cyane ibijyanye n’ikoranabuhanga n’ubuhanga bwo gukora ibintu bishya. Mu gihe abandi bana bakinaga, we yakundaga gusenya ibikoresho by’amashanyarazi no kubireba imbere. Ibi byamuhaye umuco wo kudatinya kugerageza.
Mu mashuri yisumbuye, yahuriye na Steve Wozniak, umuhanga mu by’amashanyarazi n’imashini. Bombi bahise bumva ko bahuje indoto: gukora mudasobwa yoroheje, ishobora gukoreshwa n’umuntu usanzwe, bitandukanye n’izo za kera zasabaga abahanga gusa.
2. Apple ivukira mu garage
Mu mwaka wa 1976, ubwo Jobs yari afite imyaka 21, na Wozniak bafite 25, bafashe icyemezo cyo gukora mudasobwa yabo bwite. Ntibyari ibintu bikomeye nk’uko twabyibwira uyu munsi — bari bafite ibikoresho bike, amafaranga make, ariko bafite icyerekezo gikomeye.
Mu garage yo mu rugo rwa Paul Jobs (se umurezi), batangiriye gukora ibice bya mudasobwa, bayita Apple I. Izina “Apple” ryaturutse ku buryo Steve Jobs yakundaga imbuto z’urumamfu (apple fruit) kandi ashaka izina risobanutse kandi ritera abantu kumwenyura.
Iyo mudasobwa yabo ya mbere yacurujwe mu buryo butizewe: bayigurishije mu maduka make, ariko abakiriya batangira gutungurwa n’uko ikora neza kandi yoroshye gukoresha. Icyo gihe ntawatekerezaga ko iyo garage y’abasore babiri izavamo ikigo cy’itumanaho cyahinduye isi.
3. Apple II – Itangiriro ry’impinduka
Mu mwaka wakurikiyeho, 1977, Apple yashyize hanze Apple II, mudasobwa yari ifite amabara, yoroshye gukoresha kandi ikomeye ugereranyije n’izari ku isoko icyo gihe. Byabaye nk’icyuka cy’umuyaga mushya mu ikoranabuhanga.
Abantu batangiye kubona ko mudasobwa ishobora kuba mu rugo nk’uko televiziyo ihaba, si ikintu cy’abahanga gusa. Ibi byatumye Apple iba imwe mu makampani ya mbere y’itumanaho yatangiye guhindura imyumvire y’abantu ku bijyanye n’ikoranabuhanga.
4. Intambara n’isesekara rya Jobs
Nubwo Apple yagendaga izamuka, Jobs yari umuntu udasanzwe mu buyobozi. Yakundaga ubuziranenge, akanga amakosa, kandi yari azi gushyira igitutu ku bakozi kugira ngo bagerageze gukora ibintu bitangaje. Ariko uko Apple yaguraga, inzego z’ubuyobozi zatangiye kumugora.
Mu 1985, nyuma y’amakimbirane hagati ye n’inama y’ubuyobozi, Jobs yirukanwe muri Apple – ikigo yari yarashinze ubwe. Icyo gihe yari afite imyaka 30 gusa. Byari isomo rikomeye, ariko ryamubereye intangiriro y’ubuzima bushya.
5. Gutunganya ubuzima bushya
Nyuma yo kwirukanwa, Jobs yashinze indi company yitwa NeXT, ndetse agura na studio ya filimi yitwa Pixar. Iyi studio niyo yakoreye filimi nka Toy Story na Finding Nemo, zaje kuba ibihangano bikomeye bya sinema.
Mu gihe gito, NeXT na Pixar byombi byamuhaye amahirwe yo kongera kwiyubaka no kwiga uko ibintu bikorwa mu buryo butandukanye.
6. Kugaruka kwa Jobs n’ivuka rya Apple nshya
Mu 1997, Apple yari mu bibazo bikomeye by’ubukungu. Inama y’ubuyobozi yafashe icyemezo cyo gusaba Steve Jobs kugaruka kugira ngo afashe gusubiza ikigo ku murongo.
Yagarutse afite imbaraga nshya n’indoto nshya. Ni bwo yatangije gahunda zaje guhindura amateka: iMac, iPod, iPhone, na iPad. Ibi byakoze impinduka mu buryo abantu bakoresha ikoranabuhanga, mu muziki, mu itumanaho ndetse no mu bucuruzi bw’isi yose.
7. Umwanzuro: Umuntu watekereje imbere y’igihe
Steve Jobs ntabwo yari gusa umucuruzi — yari umuhanzi mu ikoranabuhanga, wabonye ko ubwiza n’ubworoherane bishobora guhuza umuntu n’ikoranabuhanga.
Yarigeze kuvuga ati:
“Abantu batari inyangamugayo, abatekereza mu buryo butandukanye, ni bo bahindura isi.”
Uyu munsi, Apple ni kimwe mu bigo bikomeye cyane ku isi, ariko iyo ugarutse inyuma, byose byatangiye mu garage y’umwana w’umunyamatsiko.
Inkuru ye itwigisha ko ibitekerezo bitangira ari bike, ariko iyo ubihaye umutima, bishobora guhindura isi yose.
