"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it." - Steve Jobs
being missed by people, being remembered as a person who changed the world, being able to inspire millions even after you die ---It sounds all positive to me
The brilliance of Steve Jobs is that he knew how to take what others had created, put his special spin on it, and re-package it as something new - the iphone, and the ipad are perfect examples...
He was the sole individual who could envision the use of todays and tomorrow's technology into everyday life. Whoever does not realize that is just i plain ignorant. If it wasn't for Steve, we would still use computers through command line prompts. He did not invent the technology, he just saw how to make it accessible to everyone!
When u realize that „Waz“ keeps repeating „how much fun we had“ shows u exactly what life really is about… even tough yes life can be „more than the average“ but it can be more than anything else just by finding joy in the average that normal people find in family, normal jobs, kids and friends
I'd argue that he deserves a huge chunk of it. No one else, given the tools he was given, could push the team like he did and produce what he got produced. There's a lot of great people who can make products. But only a very a few can weave their contributions into a great product.
Right now I'm watching this on an ipad and just realizing how different our world would be without this amazing visionary Thank you Steve Jobs You have changed the entire world
Watching this on my Macbook.. I teared up when I noticed I have an iPhone in my pocket and there is music in my living room playing with an iPod and an iHome and in front of me is an HDTV with an Apple TV connected to it. Steve Jobs changed the way we live in this world. Everybody has an iPod Touch or an iPhone. It's Crazy, isn't it? When I got my first Mac, it had no learning curve. It just felt right. Steve Jobs, you will be remembered.. We all know your up there above the iClouds.... :(
steve jobs was a visionary. i dont care for anything against steve jobs. i used to have a pc and then i upgraded to a macbook air. it is the coolest thing i have ever used and the best computer i have ever used and well worth the price. STEVE JOBS WAS NOT AN ASS!
I cried when he died. And watching this just wants me to cry. I love you steve! If your up there watch me back. i gatta long way to go but your my true inspiration
It's sad that the same week died Dennis Ritchi who was the gratest computer scientist in the world, without ther wouldn't be no Computers, no Mac's, no iPhone's and no one remebered him. :c
Ich danke Steve Jobs für seine Rede im Jahr vor der Universität, das hat mich bis heute nachdenklich gemacht und erinnert das man nur Fest an seine sache glauben muss um die Welt Wirklich zu verändern. Danke Steve für alles
An innovative Genius who has brought to us, only what writers like Gene Roddenberry envisioned. I had the pleasure of owning many computer devices in the past, and until I received an iPhone, only then did I realize that things we see in shows such as Star Trek, are becoming more real each day with technology. Imagine 10 years from now, what we will have accomplished as a society, with such geniuses as Steve Jobs...
What a hilarious irony: the keyboard typing sound they inserted at 18:11 is NOT the Mac keyboard you see on screen...it's a bad PC-type plastic keyboard! Other than that, this was a great film, thanks for making it.
Dennis Ritchie died around the same time as jobs and you don't see people crying for him, yet without his work there wouldn't be any iPad , iphones, etc.
AirForceA7x I agree that without's Dennis' work there wouldn't be the basis of modern day Operating Systems, Steve revolutionized the user interface, and these inventions are more obvious to the user and makers a larger impact on the every day person. A easy to use revolution is something relatable to everyone, but I bet you %50 of the people using Steve's device barely even know what C is or who it's creator was.
When the ACM gave Ritchie et al. their -I think it was a lifetime achievement award for UNIX but it might have included C- supposedly the title was something like "The best operating system you will never use"; the point being that an operating system built on a machine with the memory of a conventional (have to specify that now that there are watches with the ram that a mainframe once had) watch, was, by necessity, terse, cryptic, non-intuitive, and any number of things other than user friendly. Jobs took ideas to people and perhaps, by the legendary reality distortion field, made them see what could be, what taking a risk and trying to see something in an entirely different way would do and convince them, not only to make it real, but that they were the only people who could make the vision real. UNIX would have died in computing history as Windows and Windows server became more and more pervasive--even with the UNIX underlay-- maybe some people at Berkeley would remember BSD but it would have been something the average person NEVER would have know about. Today, you can say UNIX and C and even the dimmest person has a vague idea that it has something to do with NeXT and OS X. Linux would have still existed but Linux will always be an enthusiast OS and a Server OS. Why --even though the very fact that you've read this far says that you are an enthusiast--because Linux, even in its GUIs, is the complex interactions between the minds of thousands of enthusiasts and the complexity shows and it induces fear of the machine. This is the same fear that prevented the IBM PC from becoming the family computer (Before someone points out the obvious success of WinTel, consider that IT IS WinTel not IBM) and the same fear that kept the computer from becoming the engine of change that it has become. When you can read something that took the author a commitment of most of his or her life to learn how to write and you can ask and get explanations for whatever it may be that you do not understand and get them from all over the world, it changes your life and not just because of the specific thing you learned but because you also learned that someone will explain what you do not understand without judgement or even knowing anything about you. The MACH micro kernel might have remained another footnote in the history of computing but Jobs did not like the limitations of X.org and some other things that escape my mind at the moment but the essence of it is that the OS of the NeXT machine had to do some very different things and the standard BSD kernel did not have the capabilities needed for the engineers to make his vision reality. Then there is P.A.R.K.: even though Douglas Engelbart never worked at P.A.R.K. and only lectured there once, everyone thinks Xerox invented the GUI and Jobs stole it from them --the LISA UI was created entirely in-house and there is a potentially apocryphal story that an engineer took it home to test on his wife and she was lost so he immediately took it back and in a weekend of whirlwind activity created the LISA UI-- when, in fact, it was a lecture that Engelbart gave at Stanford to demonstrate his ideas that inspired both P.A.R.K. and Apple. Jobs would later see the ALTO and license the ideas they used --Engelbart never got a dime-- from them but the development of LISA was well underway. Consider the lead time for components and software for a machine that was released in early 83 and now imagine late 1979 and the speed of component manufacture back then and imagine the disaster when Apple went to Seagate and said "let me have 10k hard drives --the first commercial hard drives-- and I need them in a month!". It took Xerox ten years to sell 2000 ALTOs and Apple sold 100k LISAs and it all happened between 1983 and 1986. Even the Wikipedia article attributes the GUI to Xerox and does not mention either Engelbart or SRI; the article does not mention that Apple recruited more than a few of Xerox people AFTER LISA was well underway either. My point, with all of the above, is that Jobs had a vision and that Apple engineers made it real. Today, far more people know about UNIX and C and through that, Ritchie et al. than would otherwise be the case. Moreover, more people have learned UNIX (and probably, C) on a Mac than --almost certainly-- ever did before on any other platform. Vague awareness is far better than obscurity and Apple ads for OS X have always emphasized its UNIX roots and with it, the origins and the people behind an amazingly creative solution to needing an OS for a very limited machine -PDP-7. Jobs didn't make the things, he envisioned things that others made real; however, those things have absolutely and irrevocably changed, not just the world, the fate of corporations --look at the phones Samsung USED to make; feature phones that carriers gave away for free and now...now, they make a phone that looks so much like an iPhone that people talk about it like car companies talk about the Honda Accord. Microsoft gave the NFL Surface tablets but everyone calls them iPads live and on the air! There is no lawsuit because the jury would also call them iPads!
AirForceA7x iPhones and iPads, did you watch the beginning of this. neither of these devices changed our lives like a personal computer and their interfaces. Microsoft had tablets before the iPad, and phones were headed in the direction of the iPhone.
steve wozniak is a great engineer and fabulous guy . He could never bring ANYTHING to market even if he tried and had no vision. He was a replaceable element at apple and was in fact replaced, by a team of engineers but replaced nonetheless. Engineering solutions are not what make apple products insanely great - it requires reality based vision of the possible and phenomenal drive toward those ends. THAT was Steve Jobs.
Jobs made everyone's life different on the world. GUI, Mac, iPhone and iMac. I only use mac, because I believe, that without the 2 Steves, we would use text-based os still on 2014. -Nuutti of WertlipGamingTeam
But how would he get one when he died before it's release. Time travelling into the future when you're dead wouldn't make sense and time travelling itself isn't logical :/ My mind hurts
Steve, rest in peace. In my whole life, I dreamt of meeting you, and work in Apple, as maybe your secretary or something. I bought so many of your products and my parents have wondered, "Why Apple". I told them it was because of a man that inspired me with what's the purpose of life and a man that talked and made things interesting. When I present projects in school, my teacher also asked, "Where did you get these speaking skills?" I told him, "Steve Jobs" and I cried. Thanks Steve, I miss you
I'm an IT expert and honestly I don't know why some people call Steve the father of modern technology. In the evolution of this industry, the effect of Mac is just less than a percent. Huge achievements are for Sun, Oracle, Microsoft, Google, and especially IBM. They made frameworks, they made programming languages, they have made millions of "technical" jobs and ..... Making a device that can drag and drop beautifully is not deserved to be called at the cause of "Changing the World!!!!"
You don't have to create the most useful machine,you don't have to be the smartest person to change the world, you just to figure out how to create a product that everyone can use, he did. Did he create it single handedly,nope. But you will agree with me he had the biggest vision. Vision has nothing to do with talent, vision will allow the smartest people to follow and produce a bigger product,so yes the suns, Microsoft, and the Google's deserve the credit,but his vision allowed a product that everyone can use. Respect that

He is not there to make friends. People hate him because he is just a prick in making relations. But still he does something amazing by utilizing his surroundings.
While Steve Jobs was a true visionary, he was all about himself and had little regard for others and hurt a great many people. I respect his genius, but I don't respect the man.
Nobody said he was the best inventor. He is the best visionary the world has ever seen. Inventors invent. Visionaries change the world. Inventors work for visionaries...
All documentaries covering his life and contributions are too narrow-minded and superficial. Stop narrating about the life events. You need to explain the significance of his life events in building up the values that he stands for.
ahyhijooooo right? A lot of Apple haters here! I wonder what they’re doing here too! I think some of it is because Apple products are exclusive and some people that can’t afford them, or don’t understand them, say they hate Apple. I used to think Apple products were overrated crap, I was so wrong, now I have the iPhone/iPod/Apple Watch/Apple TV and MacBook Pro and I love them more than I ever liked the competitors products! They all function together and it’s a wonderful experience!
*I have the deepest respect for Steve Jobs and the other Apple guys, even as a Windows and Android user. Everything would be different without them. Rest in peace Mr Jobs, gone to soon but certainly not forgotten.*
I find it interesting that people write that the MAC restricts the user. Yet, after using a PC for 13 years and then using a MAC, I've spent more time being creative because of its closed system than the years I spent on upgrading this and that, defragging, fixing conflicts, running virus checks, updating service packs and security updates; oh and one more thing... No drivers to install What I love most is turning on my MAC and every device works like should, every time no glitches no stress.
I don't understand all the praise myself, but you answered your question all by yourself already: He managed to improve things that others couldn't or wouldn't. That deserves at least a little respect.
Every day I look into the mirror and ask myself, if this were my last day on earth is this what I would want to do? And if the answer is no for to many days in a row then i know I need to make a change. - Steve Jobs This quote is helping me tons in my life right now. Thank you Steve!!
You're right. - I never built a computer. And I never built a car, a guitar, didn't built a stove or a fountain pen, not a TV set and so on... I just want to buy things working reliably when I use them.
((He did, however, bring together all sorts of existing technologies in a way that was more accessible to the consumer.)) That's exactly what Walt Disney did. Animation technology existed long before he hit the scene. He just refined it, and told better stories that mesmerized the public. That's exactly what Steve Jobs did. And he did a lot of it at the "opposition" of the geniuses that he worked with.
HI I am from INDIA.....thank you very much Jd R for posting this kind of product(video) to youtube which make many people insipirable and the way you designed this program was very heart touching and neatly explained. thank you Jd R and this is to steve, you are died when i was getting know about you, if you are der i might definetly meet you. miss you foreever.
Steve Jobs is fucking awesome! I remember getting my first Ipod and thinking, WOW! And when I got my first Iphone I nearly cried, it was just so awesome! I recently got the Mac book pro and I love it! I have had it for a while and haven't had any issues yet! This baby is worth the money and I don't regret a single cent that I paid for it.
I cried. I'm 15 and have the maturity to say To all those hating on Steve Jobs and claiming icrosodt, PC, etc. Were better companies and are run by better people understand that you are worng. Microsoft, and PC would not be where they are today if it wasnt for Steve Jobs. Many of Microsofts programs and Ideas were stolen from Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs wasn't a dick. He was human. He was backstabbed by his closest friends and angry. I would do the same. I look up to Steve Jobs. He lives in our
Used one of the earliest Macs, not sure of the exact Macintosh model, but in school. I watch anything about him anymore lately and I wish I had owned more Apple products.
as much as I wasn't a huge fan of Steve Jobs or Apple as a company, the products simply just worked well and were simple to use with above average hardware. He probably was one of the most charismatic I've ever seen and it was apparent in his conferences. His presentations weren't financial and all complicated technological jargon, he treated his audience as normal human beings. I know this might not sound like much, but if you compared Job's presentations to others, it's a big difference.
