History of the eMac

Now in this video we’re going to cover the eMac, but it’s important to note that this product was actually a spinoff of the iMac G3. So in order to fully understand the eMacs place in the market, we’re going to cover the iMac as well. So let’s begin by turning the clock back to 1998, when the personal computer industry was turned upside down with the introduction of the iMac. You see, personal computers were becoming more and more popular, both in the education setting and for personal home use. People were starting to understand and realize that these fantastic machines could cut production time, make life easier by offering information at the touch of a finger, and open lines of communication they had never experienced, and all for a pretty affordable price. Computers at the time were essentially boxes of technology that weren’t expected to serve an aesthetic purpose, but rather a functional purpose. So although they got the job done, they were all pretty ugly and boring to look at. But in 1998, the concept of the personal computer was about to change forever. And it was all thanks to the iMac G3. This machine was a revolutionary product that featured a colorful egg-shaped design that was so unusual that it appeared to be from a another planet. This new machine also featured a USB port instead of the Serial Bus connector that was standard at the time. There was one thing it was missing, though, and that was a floppy drive. Instead it had a CD drive, and other computer manufacturers followed suit which eventually led to the floppy drive becoming obsolete. So the iMac proved to be an extremely important product for Apple, especially considering it saved them from near-bankruptcy.
