The year 1984 was a wild time, and not just because it was when Apple — whose later invention, the iPhone, would spark fears about the surveillance state imagined in the book 1984— became a global phenomena. But also because there were bowties.

With just a 9-inch black and white monitor, this baby originally sold for about $2,500 — the equivalent of around $5,000 today.
The Apple Macintosh was designed by Steve Jobs to be as 'user-friendly' as possible. Jobs wanted to produce an 'appliance computer' that clients could unpack, plug in and start to use with very little computer knowledge. It was also designed to use a graphical display rather than the standard text-based display previously used.

It launched a massive ad campaign to show that "If You Can Point, You Can Use a Macintosh, too." Today, we've come a long way from needing to convince people that computers are something they might want to use. But Apple's intuitive design has made this slogan pretty much hold true.
