August 12, 1981 — IBM PC: The Day Creativity Got Its Own Keyboard

August 12, 1981 — IBM PC: The day creativity got its own keyboard And the creative economy started coding itself.

Back in the day, computers were like rare creatures, locked away in labs or giant companies.
After the IBM PC Model 5150 dropped, anyone with a dream (and a few bucks) could pop it open, power it up, and start creating.

💡 Why does this matter?
Because IBM showed that tech only becomes a revolution when it fits on your desk.

🎤 Creative lessons from the IBM PC:

  • Democratizing tools is how we speed up revolutions.

  • Simple interfaces open doors for complex minds.

  • Creativity thrives when hardware and imagination run together.

🎯 Mission of the Day
Think of a tool you use today that’s still “restricted.”
Now imagine how you could share it with more people.
