The Apple Macintosh, the first consumer computer to popularize the computer mouse and the graphical user interface, was introduced during a Super Bowl XVIII TV commercial on the 22nd day of January in 1984.

Apple released the Macintosh — the computer that brought the graphical user interface (GUI) to the masses. Since then, the platform has been through hell and back. The Mac became something of a punchline in the 1990s, and it slowly crawled its way back to relevancy after the return of Steve Jobs in 1997. In recent years, the Mac has had a thriving ecosystem, and continues to set trends for the entire tech field.
