Reaction Blog: Pirates of Silicon Valley


The movie Pirates of Silicon valley shows how these two marvels, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, changed the way we deal with technology nowadays. They are the two most important people that created Microsoft and Apple Computers, respectively. However, the story of these two geniuses may not be known for many of us, including me, not until I have watched this film. The movie shows how everything have started. From scratch, to discoveries, triumph and success, downfall and getting back up. It is full of twists that would make you think, "hey, I never thought it all started like that".


If you don't know, Bill and Steve are both college drop outs. They have not finished their school but it doesn't hindered them to achieve their dreams. Bill worked somewhere will Steve had his parents garage for his first office.


Then, after all the hardship of Steve, he came our with his first model of a Macintosh computer. From that point on is the rise of Apple. The glory days have come. Everybody wanted to purchase Mr. Jobs' product. 


But as he arose, he have developed attitude problem. He has been neglecting his work and got stuck with the perks of being famous. He then started mistreating his friends and his employees. 


His greatest mistake is trusting the wrong person.


He also got fooled by his friend, Bill, that has been the start of his downfall.

It is given that in every man's success is another man who would want to bring him down. In this case, Steve has reached the top but because of Bill's greed, he pulled him back down and replaced him to the top. In life, even though it is given to us in a different context, the same idea lingers. What we could do it play life hard and play it smart. And if by chance, you'll fall down, have the courage to stand up and get back to your own two feet like Steve has done.
