But, now privacy is an issue beyond hacking, but ensuring security of information is on another level. There is a lot more info in the hands of large corporations and government institutions. Our understanding of the privacy issue has changed a lot.

  • I love that the video is provided as the un-edited roll. The interviewer talking in the beginning isn't being completely honest though, but he's doing his job in order to keep Steve comfortable and calm. In reality even the explaining he did to Steve in the beginning, is a great kind of B-roll to cut in later, when you - for whatever reason - need a cut-in of the interviewer speaking or asking about something. Oftentimes completely different audio is edited in over the interviewer speaking, though, since you only see him from behind. Edit: Oh lol I notice they do the question over-shoulder thingy at the end too. Must've been quite interesting to see for Steve to see how TV is actually produced from the vantage point of the interviewee.

In 1985 I bought my first computer, an Apple IIe, just as a hobby to help me learn. By 1989 I had my first professional job in IT (and I'm still in it). Even though I have always been a PC guy since because I support businesses, Steve Jobs has always been one of my idols. He was earth-staggering brilliant, and I love his visions about the user experience.

  • Apart from seeing a young Steve Jobs, it was interesting at the end to see all the raw footage and the way the camera angles are staged. He certainly nailed some big issues, like how difficult these computers were to use. But I was struck by how much my life has been affected by his early vision. I learned to program on an Apple II (like the kids from MN that he mentioned) because BASIC was the OS. You were confronted with a command prompt and you had to type BASIC code to have the computer do anything at all. As a kid using a computer lab without access to floppies or a hard drive, I found coding interesting, but most of the kids in my school had little interest or inclination. In contrast, I'm sure all the applications Steve spoke about used pre-written code and data stored on some kind of drive, which would have vastly increased the cost of the computer. Tape was the low-end storage solution, but I don't recall ever seeing a tape drive for the Apple II. I don't recall when Apple introduce graphical user interfaces, but 10 years after this interview when I could afford my first computer, they were still low-powered and hard to use. A 386SX with a 32MB HD was > $1000 and ran DOS and connected to the university modems at 2400 BAUD.
