The story so far. In 1975, Ed Roberts invented the personal computer as an alternative to bankruptcy. It was a pain to use until 19-year-old pre-billionaire Bill Gates wrote the first personal computer language. Still, the public didn't care. Then two young hackers, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, built the Apple computer to impress their friends.
