@@hardcoredoom5892 In my opinion, 12:00 perfectly describes remote work using computers. Before COVID happened, lots of us were already working remotely. As a software engineer, I can pull my codebase online (or from my company's network) and I can work "locally" without the internet. I can go to the beach for 3 days and complete my work with or without the internet. People can always choose to work anywhere; I personally love working in an office while also have the liberty to work in a cabin somewhere.
@@hardcoredoom5892 early in the vid he talked about the benefits of better iterations of software with great user interfaces in the future would lead to "electronic organizations" dominating as "people can work together efficiently no matter where they are geographically."
Isn't it amazing that someone who never attended the Academia and got a fancy degree in Harvard, for example is the one who is the prime example for those Ivy Schools to teach their students how to organize and CEO a company?
He became a top CEO by working with a team of deeply smart people who MOST PROLLY graduated from the ivy league(He became the average of the 5 people he mostly sorrounded himself with). A CEO is the FACE OF THE COMPANY and NOT the company. Mic drop!
Agreeable but he is just a single example, I've studied startup owners and billionaire most of them went to ivy league shcool in the USA or other countries
@@kxkxkxkx He didn't steal it, but actually this analogy was one of his favourites and there actually are multiple recordings of him telling this story. This one here isn't the best one.
Yet he predicted the internet in this interview and called it "interpersonal computing".. thats just mindblowing! Not only he predicted how it could and should be realized, but he even predicted the shape and estimated how people probably would use it, and for what it can be used. It wasnt only like "we connect computers to interchange results" (in fact the first internet was there just for that) .. But Steve Jobs thought it further. He saw the internet like it was around the year 2000. So he was at least 15 years ahead of his time here. Just imagine you are predicting exactly a hard- and software and its confoguration and its usage, which is realized in the year 2038 .. thats how incredible this interview is. And i am not the biggest Steve Jobs fan, but man he was a visionary.. There are a lot visionary people today too... but unfortunately we dont trust them as much to put them into influental position. And it wasnt even common in Steve Jobs' times. But we need those visionary people in our companies to make real progress.. definetely!
First of all, this interview was in 1990. So it's 10 years, not 15. And Arthur C. Clarke predicted the internet back in 1964, so this idea was nothing new and certainly not Jobs own.. He is overrated
Good grief. Jobs neither foretold "the future of this world," nor created it. He was a marketing genius who was shrewd enough to exploit the blossoming personal computer/technology trend by finding very good engineers to develop products, so that Apple could become a major player with proportionate influence. If he'd never been born, then perhaps devices today might lack rounded corners, or we might not see people camping on sidewalks for three days to buy something Steve preached to them about, and which they could get with no waiting a week later. But that's about it. We'd still have astonishing technology at our fingertips. Jobs' contribution to history was unique in its style, but little else.
This is the most incredible "fly on the wall" perspective of observing someone who understands their business environment in the most succinct of ways. Amazing interview, absolutely amazing. A beautiful example of "If you understand where you came from you better understand where you are wanting to go."
It's fascinating to hear him describe how he wanted computers to connect to the network and detach at will, describing them as pods connecting to the "motherlode." This is the same language that was used when describing the ipod, which was unveiled in 2001, over ten years later. It's also the same concept behind the tight integration of apple products. I'm not a huge fan of Apple, but I'm impressed that the vision remained more or less consistent for the past 35 years.
Because to the inventors, there are no prophecies. He imagined it, and then he BUILT IT. He invented the future. Hence he doesn't have to predict anything!
I like how he always had a NeXT product in the background. Steve didn't know it at the time of this interview but what he did at NeXT is what saved Apple from ruin.
He knew it, that is why he founded NeXT. Sure he hoped it would succeed but he knew the Mac would be in trouble without a modern OS and he knew they would need him down the road. Everything he did at NeXT was with Apple in mind.
Yes he really loved Apple....any other CEO seeing the finances of Apple would break the company and sell into bits for profit but Jobs brought it back more stronger than ever
Salesman. Maybe the best salesman. Thats what it takes. Everyone has the tech. Need someone to sell it. Make the public dream. Imagine how the product can change their life. Without that salesman its just a silicon wafer and a viewport with an apple logo. He couldve sold you vacuum cleaners and made you feel good while cleaning your house. Fate brought him to computers.
They were really living it. Wasn't as absurd in his scene but still special nuances within it. Similar pockets are actively happening for any industry.
@@TheDavidlloydjones Where or what did he steal ? He mastered entrepreneurship, He doesn't program or none of the fortune 500 ceos program. They are entrepreneurs and not technicians. But in the early days of Apple, it was Steve Jobs who did all the works for Apple 2 and Apple 1 except the circuit board which was developed by Steve Wozniak. He didn't steal anything, He gave Xerox a lot of shares, infact, Xerox themselves stole it from Douglas Engelbert. And if he wasn't here, computers would be way worse and way different. Yes, He didn't invent anything but his contributions are more remarkable than many inventors.
What Steve understood is that the majority of computer sales relied on the superficial. That the market did not need a computer operable by a technician but rather a simple human. He understood that the commercial computer was an emotional, not technological, shift. Both on need and cost. The computer for the rest of us.
3:00 This insight is so profound that nobody even remembers it! And yet I love how Steve Jobs phrases at a much higher level, an abstract level. Our corporate structures are now flexible because of... computer-enabled communication tools. Wow.
Being in awe of what Steve Jobs accomplished and continuing to be in awe and grateful for what Elon Musk is doing, I do selfishly wish we had both of their brains at the same time, right now.
Steve Jobs made 'tools'in the computerindustry that are pleasant to use and can be creative again, the programm ILLUSTRATOR for instance , it was a pleasure to work with it and create cars.
The resemblance between his speaking style and tonality and that of Tucker Carlson is striking. It begs the question of whether they hail from the same region of the United States.
Man, there was one quote that really stuck out to me at 16:03... "Mathematics is really a liberal art if you look at it from a slightly different view."
This just shows me that Steve Jobs had a very romanticized version of the internet and the impact of having connectivity becoming so common in our lives.
Is there any evidence anywhere that either Jobs or Gates ever considered the negative and deleterious ethical impacts of personal computing? Al I have seen is cheerleading.

@matthewomalley-qh1pc --You’re laying it on thick, friend. Jobs was a highly successful business person, a marketing genius, but he didn’t invent or design the future. He didn’t even invent much of what Apple produced-the company’s engineers did that. And Apple was one of many companies exploiting, and building upon contemporary computer technology anyway, not the only or original one.
He’s talking about the Internet/Wi-Fi. Every time I buy a tablet iPad I get it with cellular . where in 2024 and Wi-Fi isn’t where it should be there should be free Wi-Fi not just coffee shops I’m talking about secure Wi-Fi
hahaha! But it is the most widely used. It all depeneds, IOS is not the super super they say it is all OS have their flaws...that said Apple has indeed taste and they created lots of things that Windows has been copying all these years.
