Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, shares some of his insights during a 1990 interview with WGBH.
At this very young age, Steve Jobs' language was so incredibly eloquent and beautiful.
@@pn2124 It's not about vocabulary my friend, it's about charisma.
Man, if only everyone is able to talk, and think in the same way as he did. No hype, no click bait, no pointless arguments, just pure signal, and zero noise.
It's crazy to think this interview was before the internet existed as we know it.
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
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?
Exactly, I always wonder how
THXs stif for your comment😁
people who run companies are built this way from a young age. going to a fancy university does not create this talent.
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
"A bicycle of the mind" is one for the ages.
I wonder who he stole it from😂
@@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.
Steve was truly a Visionary. Interpersonal computing, Remote work, etc. He was way ahead of his time.
Remote work? Yeah, right. Show me one quotation in which Jobs supported remote work. Promote your agenda elsewhere. In other words… Be-gone…BOT!
@@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."
he didn't just know the future of his company, he knew the future of this world
Correct, what a fascinating mind.
he didn't know it, he created it
truu@@Robis9267
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.
Yes
“let me answer that question another way” … there was no one else like Steve
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."
But he didn't invent anything. He maybe invented a revision, but no stand alone ideas.
@@chrissaenz6213he never said he invented anything. This is an unnecessary comment you’re just being a dick.
It astonishes me to look back and realize how some people foresaw events that we didn't recognize until they occurred.
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.
It's really been a privilege to tune to the podcast of such a dignified person.
Steve jobs was definitely a great explainer
He was a marketing genius.
market - genius. let the ing go
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
What an incredible way of thinking . Every word is a Prophecy to the core.
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!
Its his vision that was the heart of Apple, he was a reminder in that Company on what all this effort was for.
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.
I am totally in love with this young man who later on changed our world like no one else does❤❤❤
❤️ He's been my personal hero since a very young age
@@TheDanielLivingston ，you must be truly smart. I recently read Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs.
@@weizheng673 That's such a great book. :) Isaacson has another book called The Innovators which I highly recommend
@@TheDanielLivingston ，Thanks a lot! I truly appreciate your recommendations
@@weizheng673 Sure thing! ☺️
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.
exactly, biggest salesmans of our history are musk and gates, two frauds and satanists.
Well said
Very true
Interview 33 years ago, thanks for the upload.
I am sad I didn't get to live that era of the internet, even when I've lived one of the best ones 1990-2010
This is pure gold
'Course the guy didn't pioneer the computer, he pioneered theft of intellectual property.
@@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.
@@TheDavidlloydjonesawesome, Einstein. And what better have you achieved than this man.
I longtime favorite... Mr Jobs was the real deal. Personal Training for the rest of us was the lesson. See where you want to be a ride there.
What a visionary ❤
"That is nothing what is coming in the next 100 years" and I am here thinking about Chatgpt, Bard and Tesla FSD.
My role model had foresaw the present computing and we are evident of his thought
imagine Steve Jobs in this current era of Ai.
Can't wait to see his work again!😁
I think Steve Jobs would be a huge fan of the remote work movement.
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.
WoW!!! Thank You ... !
This guy unleashed what IBM thought couldn't be done? Please.
Saw a video that Steve rejected the iphone initially for month until his staff convinced him it was the future
Link to the video please?
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.
Great people when they speak,
aghhhh, he's not even an engineer yet he gets me so hyped up over the simplest things.
Amazing
Wow! You know how to pick them
Visionary Steve Jobs😍🌏
The god father of modern day technology, we miss you Steve!
You can tell he is sale man. He was conniving and shrewd. He was building a narrative of being a technologist but he was just a sales man
Thanks. Saved it.
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.
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.
he had a vision.
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."
Interpersonal computing where you collaborate from anywhere for Company DAOs 5:17
Lov your face Steve Spt anaknya mas urat..Suradi Salam dr Aeon Serpong tangerang😁❤️
1 interview= 1000ton diamonds
does someone have the complete interview?
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.
They were both born in San Francisco, although Carlson was raised in San Diego
@@lebimas Interesting, perhaps they are far off relations.... remarkable how similiar they are.
He was time traveling! LOL.
Classic
One earth one family 🫂
Seems to be an intelligent guy. He might be successful some day
Hello Palj! Bạn vẫn còn ở khu Vingroup Plaza chứ hay đã đổi về VinID. Mình là người đặt bút viết gốc.........ID những năm 2016 tới nay.
If the computer is a bicycle for the mind then AI is that bicycle going downhill
Self taught ❤
Spelling boobs on the calculator was a revolution in publication
By this analogy we can look at AI like ChatGPT as cars
Wow
STEVEN PAUL JOBS 24 DE FEBRERO DE 1955 05 DE OCTUBRE DE 2011 68 AÑOS 56 AÑOS 12 AÑOS
If you lesson carefully you know that he is telling us all of the secrects he know whithout hesitation .
My Grandfather invented the “bicycle of the kind.” Makes sense now. 😇
Culture❤
#SteveJobs @stevejobs you need to update upgraded resume for cassette tape program code and CD player DVD player computerization
Am i the only one who thinks young steve jobs is really handsome enough to play in a romantic movie.
No, you are not. I’m crushing really hard on him ❤❤❤. I find him so handsome: sexy in a dreamy way. That mind….
Brain is the new sexy
Had he lived longer, he would have realized it was more like a leather couch or recliner. 😂
8:33 meanwhile over 200k people have viewed this lol. man tho even back then he didn't underestimate the power of the internet
my Brother and me, played frankinstein with the telly off ha #Atari
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.
Sau những piến cố Mình đã lưu vong rất nhiều nơi, giờ 2 con mình đứa lớn vô class 12 và đứa nhỏ class 6 nên mình khá bận để chuẩn pị kiến thức new ở thế kỷ 21. Kamolw Palj!
Around the end of the video, he is embarrassed when he is corrected about his wrong estimate of the number of people who attended the fair.
So the point of the PC is to let us out-think a condor?
and now we are at the start of the peak with AI
Just imagine what he would have done if he could have Lived for 5 more!!
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.
he had a different vision
2011 я смотрел фильм с Кутчером... Ну Стив 1 из самых харизматичных продавцов ораторов в истории... Как мы ее назовем яблоко
He used wozniak.
Steve invented & designed the future. 😈
I knew this time will come ever since that fight Euro vs.USD when it happened something like this only that then was softer. Now is 100× crueler.
@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.
And Ai is the car of the mind
For most, it will be their master rather than their servant.
All can Get Up aend Go now
Isnt it funny Serpong? Sp?😁..ill give you a song for this great video
I would say the internet and especially this app is more along the lines of being more like smoking Crack than it being a cigarette habit
if my grandma had wheels she would be a bike
Satoshi!!!
This guy is the 21st century Alkhawarizmi..
Before woz was woz, was woz is?
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
Little could he know very soon Duke Nukem would be kicking and taking names
outsource all code writing to....
This guy was iraqi
Was he not Syrian? Lines in sand anyways
wait and see without fuel and electricity everybody are going to come back to ridign bicycle everywhere inclduing over the moon.
A Windows computer is like a rusty tricycle being ridden by a drunken old clown for the mind.
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.
I'm a Computer Scientist and Mathematician and I use the windows 🪟 it really does wonders.
Nowadays cellphones and computers are used mainly for posting videos of people doing monkey tricks and idiotic challenges on social media 😢
you are very out of touch with the internet
Hey look it’s John Lennon
I can't, Steve. I can't watch anything right now that is not current and directly constructive to helping me get out of the situation I am at. Sorry.
Jobs is awesome. He's like Michael Jordan and Donald Trump: They are a**holes but are extremely competent.
😂😂😂😂 great comparision
@13:54 @timcook stop focusing on the future. 666
I don't relate to Steve Jobs. He must have been a unique person.
So Steve jobs was born Muslim?
Kind of Hybrid
Con man
Talking mad crap lol
