Pirates of the Silicon Valley

Pirates of the Silicon Valley is a movie about the rise of Apple and Microsoft. Wherein  Steve jobs and Steve Wozniak is the founder of Apple then Bill Gate and Paul allen for Microsoft. This movie made me understand more about the history of computer, where we all know that this is what we have now in the present what we call TECHNOLOGY. Technology is progressing and will continuously progress as the year goes along.

The movie was great but a bit confusing when there are poping scenes and some flashbacks. I learned that Steve Jobs was not that bad if he just stayed humble and not pressuring his employees. He thinks that he is the most powerful and high, but there is one wise man that challenged his ability, he is Bill Gates. Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft. He is a great programmer, the only missing part is the materials that would accomplish his plans. That is why he conived with Steve Jobs too get some computer and changed the Os and made it as Windows. That made Steve Jobs’ head hot. In the end, Bill Gates reigned and became the wealthiest man in the world. while Steve Jobs was fired at Apple but came back at 1997. In the present i can see that Microsoft is still ahead than Apple around the world.

At the end of the movie i was amused and made me eager about their real life and searched it in the internet to understand more about their life when they were younger till the time they were successful. I just learned one thing, in everything you do one must be humble, always keep your feet on the ground, you’ll never know when will be your downfall, and one more thing, one must be wise and determined to reach your goal..
