While today we take computers for granted, Steve Jobs was working in the early 1980s, trying to make Apple's new Macintosh personal computer popular. This was an era when most people did not have a computer nor were they planning to buy one; in fact, computers were mostly associated with business. Thus, for Jobs, his biggest obstacle to overcome was that he was ahead of his time; he had to change the attitude of the public. It took time to achieve this, and he did not always get along with the other executives at Apple; in fact, he left the company for a while. But gradually, Jobs helped to create the demand for Apple's personal computers. He was thus an essential part of transforming the computer from a device for business into a device no home or family could be without.

What obstacles did the first programmers face?
The first programmers had to face grueling hours of counting and calculating to get operations done. When the first computer came out, not the ones from Steve Jobs and Bill Gates time, it consisted of a whole bunch of tubes. The programmers had to replace a lot of things to get one "application" to work (for example a calculator to add one plus one), and they had to remember many processes that today's computers keep in memory, making life difficult for a programmer back then. There are a lot of videos on the internet that will tell you more in depth detail. Check the related link.
