Reflection on Pirates on Silicon Valley

A requirement for the course DBM517 Technopreneurship in IT.
Movie: Pirates of the Silicon Valley

Image Source: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/30/Movieposterposv.jpg

Reflection:

The film starts with a few friends and classmates at the college: Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, who chose to construct a personal computer, creating an operating system that would allow this. Meanwhile, Bill Gates and his colleagues (who were also university students at the moment) created an operating system and chose to introduce it for their pcs to a business that required it, and the business adopted it.

Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak succeeded in transcending the world of business and formed a computer company called "Apple," which became famous for its computers and rapidly started to make big profits. Apple continued to develop, but Steve Jobs ' personality started to alter, eventually causing his friend to leave the business and placed it under Pepsi-Cola's former president. Jobs were looking for ways to continue producing innovative products. So he visited the Xerox Research Center in California where Jobs would purchase the new Apple graphics scheme to understand the thoughts that were going on there.

Meanwhile, Gates and his two companions decided to create Microsoft and traveled to IBM to sell an operating system that could handle their computers, the problem is they hadn't created a system, so they decided to purchase it from someone who had already created it and sell it to IBM that way.
Apple continued to operate on its new computers; Bill Gates is hearing about this and chooses to go to the centers in Apple to know more about the new system being developed. Gates started to work for Apple, but also started gathering data on Apple computers and building his own laptop on that grounds. Jobs suspect, but Gates had already introduced his new enhanced laptop on the market when he decided to do something; it was too late to do anything about it.

In the film, we can perceive what sort of an individual is Steve Jobs and Bill Gates well before their prosperity. These two people shares numerous things for all intents and purpose, one of which is their excitement and that them two are unbelievable daring people. Before the accomplishment of their separate organizations they have experience such a significant number of disappointments, judgment, and sadness but since of these attributes they saw these things not as a deterrent but rather a test for them to develop. Much the same as what Thomas Edison stated, "I have not fizzled. I have quite recently discovered 10,000 different ways that won't work". Envision if we all have this sort of mindset, the world's prosperity will be more than what we appreciate at the present. 

With the accomplishment of the Apple 1, Steve Jobs together with his group wound up effective and acclaimed. The Apple PC ruled and changed the innovation and the depiction of things to come world. Truly, the world changed and furthermore Steve Jobs, he wound up well known and effective however totally an alternate man. He ended up pleased, simple go fortunate and he turned out to be so loaded with himself. In spite of these changes, the Apple kept on developing, up to the here and now they command, and they wound up one of the images of extravagance, style and achievement. William Henry Gates III, broadly known as Bill Gates then again had an alternate viewpoint throughout everyday life. As exhibited in the motion picture, he may have pilfered a portion of the thoughts of Macintosh yet as should be obvious, it came about to something that is great. Therefore, Microsoft came to be what it is at this moment. 

As a rule, we should esteem and keep in our psyches the things that the people behind these organizations wandered and experienced before it ended up effective. Throughout everyday life, we have to encounter disappointment and hurts for us to acknowledge how incredible is the achievement that we may soon to accomplish.
