Launch of the NeXT Computer

On October 12, 1988, the NeXT Computer was unveiled at a lavish invitation-only gala at the Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, marking a pivotal moment in Steve Jobs’s career after leaving Apple. NeXT aimed to develop high-end workstations for higher education and business markets, and this launch was a multimedia extravaganza showcasing its groundbreaking features. One of the NeXT Computer’s most notable contributions was its role in the development of the World Wide Web—Tim Berners-Lee used it to create the first web browser, WorldWideWeb, laying the foundation for the internet as we know it. Its advanced operating system and development environment influenced future systems, including Apple’s macOS and iOS. The NeXT Computer’s innovative technology and design philosophy cemented its legacy, demonstrating the power of visionary thinking in shaping modern computing. #Mooflife #MomentOfLife #NextComputer #TimBernersLee #WorldWideWeb #SteveJobs #OperatingSystems #1988LaunchEvent #SiliconValley
