The WiFi technology that can already be found in the most everyday elements, even in the small USB sticks, it hasn't been around that long. ¿Does anyone know which was the first consumer device with WiFi? Does anyone know which was the first manufacturer that brought WiFi to users? How could it be another, that brand was Apple, and the presentation of Steve Jobs was, like so many others, saved in those memorable videos that you always want to remember, and I think today is a good time to do so.

It was in 1999, at Macworld in New York, at the iBook G3 presentation, that precious laptop that had to endure being called such absurd things as "water cover", and that today more than one would like to have in their living room. The video that you have just above these lines includes the entire Keynote of Jobs, with Noah Wyle, protagonist of "Pirates of Silicon Valley" appearing on stage playing Jobs. From the hour of video begins the moment of which we speak. Jobs starts browsing the internet on the iBook, but it's not until he picks it up from the table and takes it somewhere else that the public realizes he's connected wirelessly.
There is no lack of Steve Jobs's "showman" moment, passing a hula-hoop around the laptop to show that there were no cables anywhere. Then he claimed that in the coming months or years everyone would join in with this new wireless technology. As almost always, he was right. Hopefully we will have some amazing moment like this soon when Apple will blow our minds to those of us who enjoy its products.

They tell me that Steve Jobs invented the wheel, to see if you can confirm it please.
Well no, it was not like that. He didn't invent WiFi either, but he was the first to have what it took to put it on a computer intended for "normal" users, and like it or not, that's how history is written. Some do not want to accept reality even if they run into it.
Exactly, you know what they say:
"We have not been the first, but we will be the best"
😀
Maybe he didn't invent it but he knew how to make it much more useful to us …………… he put it on iPods :-))))
