Sure, the mother of all demos celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, but yesterday was the 35th anniversary of the debut of the Macintosh.

Most people only remember the Macintosh Super Bowl ad, but it cannot be understated the effect the release of the Macintosh had on the world. At a time when most computers were difficult to use, the Macintosh showed us a world where a simple mouse with one button could control the whole machine.

The Macintosh opened the door for the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga the next year, and the initial release of Microsoft Windows, also in 1985.

Technology moments like this are pretty rare. After the Macintosh release in 1984 came the iPod in 2001, the iPhone in 2007, and the Microsoft Hololens demo in 2015. Yes, the Hololens was announced prematurely, but it has potential.
