Every computer company had this mission statement back then, so much so that phone companies had the same idea. He didn't invent anything, he just improved some things.
@@chris7921eh no present perfect tense “he’s done” applies better here as it’s saying he was prepared for the present moment in time when they interviewed him
Absolutely, this man did it all by observation. He once said how visiting Xerox PARC completely opened his mind to all the ways we could innovate and interact with technology. His genius came from observing and predicting human evolution. A sociology teacher once told me he had a feature which almost no one noticed about him. He was an ethnographer for many decades and no one noticed. People only saw the end product and thought he was just a genius inventor, but it went so much deeper than that 🎯💯👌
Absolutely. Everyone else was thinking about chips and bits but he was thinking about the general public and making the computer a natural everyday beautiful device for everyone.
The entire industry was working toward this. It was a collective vision. There are segments from a 1967 series on the 21st century done by Walter Kronite in which he showed a home of the future, The home had a computer that allowed you to access weather, stock quotes, and news online. He showed how you'll be able to read the news on the screen, and then print a hard copy if you want. He showed video phone calls. She showed a computer in the kitchen that the mother used to recalculate the measurements for a recipe if she had a few more people eating over, and the kids used the computer to complete their homework --- they were doing math problems, and the computer told them whether or not they got the correct answers. That was over a decade before the Mac. In another episode it showed how computers were already being used to design cars, including generating 3-D drawings. How they were being used to control jetliners.
@@HomeAtLast501 I'm thankful for all of those forward thinkers but I still believe that Steve, with his manic drive and will actually got it done for society alot sooner and alot nicer than would have been otherwise.
You're addressing a separate issue. I was in grad school in 2004, and I did a big research paper on how the cell phone was going to change the distribution of entertainment. The first smartphone came out in 2007. I myself described everything that was going to happen. It was very clear to everyone that everything we were doing on laptops we would also be doing on cell phones. People seem to believe that Jobs invented computers and the idea of networks --- and that simply is not true. @@MiamiWebDesign
He thought about profits only. He killed user upgradable and very popular Apple II with Macintosh, a less powerful and proprietary non upgradable computer that tanked in the market despite costly promotion. Apple still follows the same ideal, charging $200 for a ram upgrade. Apple II was built by Wozniak almost single handedly and he could build things on his own, unlike Jobs who was just a salesman. It is sad that Wozniak's vision of Apple computers were killed despite them being the cash cow which saved the company during it's tough times.
How do we know some venture capitalist didn't shove a board in Woz's hands and say, "Look boys, you need to sell this as your own creation and I'll make you rich beyond your wildest dreams."
@@justindawson5930 yes me and old Steve we go way back. I was actually there in his garage with wozzi. it was Steve’s idea to build the computer. It was Wozniaks intelligence that put it together, and it was my money that funded the whole project. They always leave that part out .matter of fact, they were broke they were living off of my money. I was the one that made their dream Come true. And whenever they tell the story, they leave me out of it. They don’t wanna tell you that if it wasn’t for me they would never been able to afford those computer parts. They would’ve never been able to afford to incorporate. honestly, it was probably karma that gave cancer to Steve because had he not left me out I guarantee he’d still be here today. That’s just the way the world goes.
bro, he said the concept of it, you can’t just come up with the idea on the spot and call it something. He envisioned the idea and knew what was going to happen but he can’t come up with a product name on the spot when the technology doesn’t exist. What kinda stupid are you? Tell me your 6 years old without telling me ur 6 years old
Considering how he influenced that vision through a WISIWYG program environment that we see realized in the Macintosh OS--which rested on just-coming-on-line processor and memory chip tech--this was less about predicting a future than in making it.
Someone else would have thought of everything he’s talked about and done eventually. He just got in first, then hid behind antitrust laws, anti-competition and so forth, where he was able to build a monopoly preventing most of his competition from even getting started I think he’s the antichrist, honestly. Just look at what the iphone has done to society, and with the help of what was originally a department of defense file sharing system, but was commercialized by Bill Clinton in the mid 90s - the internet The commercialization of the internet will one day be declared as humanity’s biggest and most tragic mistake
A lot of people think about how visionary Jobs was but he really wasn’t what he was remembered for until he came back to apple in the late 90s. In fact, most of Apple’s early issues were from him for example: -He helped design the Apple II case and his insistence on no vents led to the first run of machines to MELT causing them all to be recalled and replaced. -He led the Apple III project which was a colossal disaster -The Lisa flopped even harder than the A3 and Macintosh wasn’t the runaway success that Apple likes to say it was either.
Yes the man was trying to have his teams build better, nicer, quieter stuff than what was already out there. This was his trial and error process even if it lost money. He had a vision and today you and I are probably on a mobile device created thanks in large part because of him and his crazy ideas, and failures.
@DumbBunny5238 Lots you got wrong here. Early Apple IIs did not melt. You're getting confused with the Apple III, which was NOT led by Jobs, but by Wendell Sander. Jobs DID insist on no fan in the Apple III, but the early run of those did not melt either - they had thermal issues, with chips working loose from the sockets and some floppy discs appearing "melted" when removed from the drive, but the machines themselves did not melt.
@@dunebasher1971 the very first batch of Apple IIs lacked vents and were made from a lower quality plastic. As such, the plastic would in fact melt. Apple recalled basically all of them almost immediately and replaced them with a higher quality case. There were only around 1,000 made and most people don’t know they exist.
@@MiamiWebDesignbro the iPhone was litterally not his idea. Jobs was against making an Apple Phone. It was some engineer's idea. They pitched it to him he said It was worst idea he ever heard. But those engineers did persevere and worked in secret to try prove him the concept again a few months later. Then they made two teams compete to design the product. When job presented the iPhone he made seems like it was his idea and vision. But the true visionary people who imagined it after seeing the Fingerwork's prototype. Fingerwork was the company that invented and perfected multi-touch gestures that Apple later bought to get their patents. Those people sacrificed their personal lives to make the iPhone happen without any Days off and supporting Job's toxicity.
He's predicting the iPad, not iPhone. He's talking about a personal computer not a handheld computer. The idea of a computer in your pocket was decades ahead of 80s thinking.
Well this isn't the only industry that thinks that way.. for the longest time with only been geared to desire this and that instead of what we need. With all the advertising on bill boards newspapers TV radio they draw us to desire this and that. Without thinking corporations get greedy and won't significantly reduce their prices because is the motivation
For anyone who doesn't understand, in IT terms, he's talking about UX, also known as User Experience. Utilizing a user-friendly integration so that more people use the product.
He is talking about the Lisa here that he is going to release in 83 but can't say because they are developing it. (He saw the Xerox workstation in 79 at the Xerox research lab and is about to steal all the concepts of the GUI from them.)
If you watch his 1984 Macintosh presentation, you would know that he is actually talking about Macintosh here. It took about two years to develop it so timeline also matches as this video is from 1981. He talked about all these points in the presentation
Bit of a stretch to say he's 'predicting the iPhone' as he doesn't mention anything about a phone once. He's basically saying computing will become more accessible to the average user over time.
I know it was so crazy that our lives were never the same. I had to move far away I left my family changed my name and I was eating off the land because how mad and unrecognizable the world has become. Nights became days' days became nights, lions became herbivores and rabbits became carnivores.
An absolute fucking genius if we ever saw one in our lifetime. Say what you want about him but he did some crazy shit and his company is the most valuable of all time.
He's talking about working on the User Interface....like a better OS and input commands advancements while simplifying. Older gen than mine used MS-Dos for example and when poin-and-click was introduced it was a truly breakthrough that attracted and make PC's much more useable and commercial
Rest in peace Steve Jobs 1955-2011 thanks for helping to advance technology and thanks for helping me as well as other people to change how we view and use technology on a global scale… Steve Jobs will be missed he changed the world 🌎 he revolutionized technology.
He did not mention anything specific. He only told what everyone in the computer business was expecting at that time. He was just a geek who had money to realise his ideas. Good for him !
Hes talking about making the home computer easy to use not making a portable device that makes calls. Some y'all are too young to understand how difficult computers were to use in the 80s
His insight here in 1981 that ease of use requires higher sophistication in the device applies no doubt to the iPhone also. Remember his iPhone presentation that showed the "smartphones" of the day, all of which were extremely difficult to use. Then, remember the lineups when the iPhone went on sale.
Honestly if you’re a computer science major you know this. This is Murphys law in that things become more and more complex leading to things you do with it becoming simpler and simpler.
Computers weren't hard to use back in the '70s. I was a 10-year-old and knew how they worked after reading a couple of books. People just don't want to learn anything these days; they want everything spoon-fed to them.
Jobs was just a good salesman with ideas ! Woz and his team were the real brains behind Apple ! Yet if you listen to Jobs , he would have you believe. It was all his work 😊
Good points. The PC took a long time to become adopted by the public. By contrast, smartphones were almost instantly adopted by most. Now not only are smartphones owned by almost everyone in the US, it is becoming necessary to function in the modern world.
As a person that has been using computers since 1981 this isn't a prediction of the iphone but the Macintosh. He had seen what Xerox Parc was doing two years prior and was working towards the Lisa at this time. In fact that IS what he is saying because What Xerox was doing required more power that could be handled by home tech. This was the time of Apple II and to do a GUI it required MUCH more CPU than was reasonably inexpensive for the home market. Context Matters with history.
This is an accomplished vision and mission statement for any business owners out there. The prediction part was 10 years, which turned out to be 20+ years.
He's talking about bitmapped graphics, every pixel is addressable that way Apple could create graphical user interfaces. A couple years before this he went to Xerox and saw the Xerox Parc. His team "copied" or iterated off that idea and he released the Macintosh in '84, Xerox got paid in Apple stock.
Steve Jobs was such a visionary, it’s not that he PREDICTED where the industry would go, and how receptive society would be… both were clay in his hands and he just had to navigate properly forming it.
It's kind of amazing how much more respectful we are of the dead. There is zero doubt in my mind that if Steve Jobs were alive today he'd be getting the Elon Musk treatment lol
This isn't a prediction, it's a mission statement.
FACTS! he was 20yrs a head of the game
Every computer company had this mission statement back then, so much so that phone companies had the same idea.
He didn't invent anything, he just improved some things.
you mean vision statement. mission statement describes what do you do now while vision statement deals with what you plan to do in the future.
@@dronedrone1683 they did it while he said this. there was a history of making computers more user friendly before smart phones.

not the "iMac" but the Macintosh.
Yeah exactly. Maybe an iPad of sorts but definitely a personal computer not a handheld.

In 1981 personal computers were monochrome. He was ahead of his time and was able to translate his mission in various devices beyond PCs.
No. Apple's first computer in 1977 was colour, hence the colours in their logo. It was created by Steve ... no, not Jobs. Steve Wozniak.
The Macintosh only had a monochrome screen for several years after competitors and Apple's own II/III line had color displays available.

This was for the PC at home! Not for cell phones! This came much later!
If the year is accurate, he’s likely talking about Lisa.

Local Integrated System Architecture. At least that's what he claims.
@@envitech02 I believe that Steve later admitted that yes, he did name it after his daughter.
By this definition any science fiction is a prediction
He was a visionary. He knew exactly what tech users in the future would want.
I wouldn’t say he predicted the iPhone in this video!!
He didn't. This could apply to any Apple product if you think about it. Clickbait
If you watch close you can see him blink “iPhone 2007” in binary
This gave me chills
U ghey
I didn't hear him predict the I-phone... I heard him simply codify Moore's Law.
He's predicting the iPad, not iPhone. He's talking about a personal computer not a handheld computer. The idea of a computer in your pocket was decades ahead of 80s thinking.
Steve uses design logic to think projects FOR people. That’s why he drove apple to his best software products
Exactly. As Steve said: “Our job is to figure out what they’re going to want before they do”.

Exactly what the computer is thinking.
He never planned it just made the best devices of his time no other manufacturer could’ve made the iPhone like Steve did
For anyone who doesn't understand, in IT terms, he's talking about UX, also known as User Experience. Utilizing a user-friendly integration so that more people use the product.

Nowhere. It's called clickbait
He is talking about the Lisa here that he is going to release in 83 but can't say because they are developing it. (He saw the Xerox workstation in 79 at the Xerox research lab and is about to steal all the concepts of the GUI from them.)
Listen closely: "Adapt the computer to the way people are doing things." 😢😢😢😢😢
Steve Jobs will not be happy to see what his company has become like Apple saying iphones not fixable when they just needed to change the screen
He pretty much summarized Apple. And it was his addition: being a non-engineer leading engineers, he felt this himself
If you watch his 1984 Macintosh presentation, you would know that he is actually talking about Macintosh here. It took about two years to develop it so timeline also matches as this video is from 1981. He talked about all these points in the presentation
That's dumb, Steven Job wasn't even Keen on the idea of tablet PCs and traditional PDA . Until in early 2000 with the success of the touch screen iPod
Bit of a stretch to say he's 'predicting the iPhone' as he doesn't mention anything about a phone once. He's basically saying computing will become more accessible to the average user over time.
Ashton Kutcher and Tom Cruise had a baby and it was Steve Jobs.

Agree, not a prediction but a mission statement, a commitment
That predicted the rise of millions of home users, not the iPhone.
Ahh, back when the chips flowed in like golden honey. “There will never be a shortage!” they said

Hes talking about making the home computer easy to use not making a portable device that makes calls. Some y'all are too young to understand how difficult computers were to use in the 80s
Steve Balmer talked about a computer in every kitchen, alongside the toaster. It was a common theme at the time.

Remember his iPhone presentation that showed the "smartphones" of the day, all of which were extremely difficult to use. Then, remember the lineups when the iPhone went on sale.
Seems like Steve had an underbite that was corrected later.

In fact, it became so easy to use that people don't even know that they are using a computer.
