Steve Jobs became a household name for his technology and innovations, but what most people forget is the story of how Steve Jobs was deemed “erratic, irrational and unfit to create products or lead Apple”. As detailed in WikiPedia, “in the early 1980s nike air force 270 shoes cheap , Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of Xerox PARC’s mouse-driven graphical user interface, which led to the creation of the Apple Lisa and, one year later, the Macintosh. The following year, Apple aired a Super Bowl television commercial titled “1984”. At Apple’s annual shareholders meeting on January 24, 1984, an emotional Jobs introduced the Macintosh to a wildly enthusiastic audience; Andy Hertzfeld described the scene as “pandemonium”. The Macintosh became the first commercially successful small computer with a graphical user interface.


While Jobs was a persuasive and charismatic director for Apple nike sb dunks low ride life cheap , some of his employees from that time described him as “an erratic and temperamental manager”. An industry-wide sales slump towards the end of 1984, caused a deterioration in Jobs’s working relationship with Sculley as well as layoffs and disappointing sales performance. An internal power struggle developed between Jobs and Sculley. Jobs kept meetings running past midnight, sent out lengthy faxes, then called new meetings at 7:00 am. The Apple board of directors instructed Sculley to “contain” Jobs and limit his ability to launch expensive forays into untested products. Sculley learned that Jobs-believing Sculley to be “bad for Apple” and the wrong person to lead the company-had been attempting to organize a boardroom coup, and on May 24, 1985 he called a board meeting to resolve the matter. Apple’s board of directors sided with Sculley and removed Jobs from his managerial duties as head of the Macintosh division. Jobs resigned from Apple five months later and founded NeXT Inc. the same year.”

Hindsight or Insight?
The term Drake’s Folly was coined in 1859 in Pennsylvania. It was a term used to revile nike hyperadapt 1.0 olive flak cheap , ridicule and denigrate the ideas, innovation and Invention of Edwin L. Drake. Townspeople, politicians, business leaders and nay-saying individuals began to mock and ridicule the business idea of Edwin Laurentine Drake (March 29, 1819 – November 9, 1880). Edwin Drake was also known by the “nickname or moniker” of Colonel Drake (there is even another Famous Colonel on this list). What was Drake known for, but was ridiculed for?

The invention and idea changed the world in 1859 and its effect is still part of everyday life, however, the media at the time, officials, towns people and others, simply did not get just how brilliant and impactful the innovation would be on the world nike hyperadapt 1.0 mens cheap , and in turn chose to revile, ridicule and denigrate Inventor Edwin Drake, thus the term “Drake’s Folly”. What was the Invention? The drilling for oil. Back in 1859, people around the world had gathered oil for centuries around “seeps,” places where oil naturally rose to the surface and came out of the ground. The problem with collecting oil in that manner was that even productive areas didn’t yield large amounts of oil. In the 1850s, new types of machinery being produced increasingly needed oil for lubrication. And the main sources for oil at the time, whaling and collecting oil from seeps nike hyperadapt 1.0 cheap , couldn’t meet the demand. Someone had to find a way to extract oil from the ground.
