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!!
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.
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.... :(
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
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...
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...
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
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
Spoken like a true Frenchman - and a very mature 20 year old, too. You represent your country in a way that truly shows the class of people that live there.
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!
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...
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.
((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
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
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!
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.
He inspired microsoft. Why people hate on him makes no sense. If you dont like him than why would you watch this video, let alone comment on it. I want to see you a accomplish any of the things he did. Go ahead and go make your own OS and portable divice and a successful company that mades millions and millions of dollars. He was very smart, and just because he was human doesn't make him subpar.
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
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.
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
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.
*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'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

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
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.
He was a prick in the beginning because he was very young and didn’t really know what he was doing. He wanted to make a company. He grew and matured and became a better person later on.
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.
I just mentioned before that he wasn’t so nice in the beginning because he was very young and trying to create a company. He grew in mature later on and he became a very nice person.
Anybody who says that MAC restricts the user has not spent the ten minutes it takes to master the Mac. In the early 90's I was all Windows. I moved to a company that was all Macs except for equipment that required a Windows interface. Suddenly I was working and producing instead of working on making the computer or peripheral to make it work. I still use both to this day. Windows ONLY WHEN ABSOLUTE HAVE TO. I produce on Macs.
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.
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!
Steve was a natural genius. He had a natural instinct to tell a brilliant product from a mediocre one and to stay focused on product strategies. Plus, he was an astonishing CEO who kept on top of product development and was never contempt with what his company achieved. But his instincts was what kept apple on top of it's game. He wasn't unique, but there may be a few more decades until someone else like him gets noticed.
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
You're mostly right on, there. Most of the things he made popular were already invented, like the mouse in 1963 by Engelbart. But what he was really good at was spotting that good stuff, selecting it, and putting the good stuff in your hands (including Woz's genius).
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.
ya know the greatest inventors of all time in my mind are Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Nikola Tesla , and they certainly made my life grand and they certainly never let me or my family down,
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.
he is right in my mind , I think skylar would agree your either born super driven or taught to excel, but greatness in all is done in fun if you believe and encourage the talent in your world , you’ll love your life more and the earths environment will always score 😊
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.

Money allows creativity to flourish. I have tried desperately to find a way to show mine without it. But its always haunts me.
This is by far the best documentary I've ever seen of Steve Jobs.

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.
Because not a lot of people know about him. Fucking Jesus, do you expect everyone to have insight into every subject in the entire world?
interesting video, thanks for sharing
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
Now I'm feeling bad that I bought an HTC Phone... Steve Jobs was a great man!
I miss the Mac daddy :(
he did more than just a pc he did an MIRACLE, thats what I see!
respect, steve, respect.
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.
Sometimes I wonder if the world would still would using DOS if it weren't for this man.
Obviously, no
Brilliant video. Keep inspiring
super video!
*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'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

Thanks 4 sharing!
I'm guessing I'm not the only one who's watching this on a Apple device...
An*
True

i love steve jobs
steve love by omar
The Great Steve Jobs.Wish i be able to create and vision like he did and the near future.thanks for the video post very inspiring and life changing.
People remember him.
The thing is, people remember S. Jobs more, because of his immense amount of innovations.
7:58 Apple Watch? Time travel proof
1:23 also
Yes! it is apple watch! Confirmed
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
THEY NEED TO MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!
If you would go to the past and save Steve Jobs thumbs up this comment
This made me cry SOOO much
I wonder if the people that know about who invented the iPhone, know about who invented the ACTUAL Phone. Now that's an INVENTOR...
I was always a windows/pc guy but after jobs died, I bought a macbook pro to honor him with the only way I know
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.
Sure. And still an egomaniac selfish prick.
He was a prick in the beginning because he was very young and didn’t really know what he was doing. He wanted to make a company. He grew and matured and became a better person later on.
So many personal friends of these great men on youtube. That have so many valid statements. Boy how amazing!
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.
we all have to face that ordeal ... all trying to identify and slowly get rid of ego tricks
I just mentioned before that he wasn’t so nice in the beginning because he was very young and trying to create a company. He grew in mature later on and he became a very nice person.
They are not "actors" they are the real people from his life.
Woz was looking for a Job :)
speak for yourself bro software engineering is where it's at
Anybody who says that MAC restricts the user has not spent the ten minutes it takes to master the Mac. In the early 90's I was all Windows. I moved to a company that was all Macs except for equipment that required a Windows interface. Suddenly I was working and producing instead of working on making the computer or peripheral to make it work. I still use both to this day. Windows ONLY WHEN ABSOLUTE HAVE TO. I produce on Macs.
Song at 52:43 anyone?? Please.
+50flamingbottles or download Shazam
I tried that. No joy.
"City Twilight" by Andy Britton and David Goldsmith
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.
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.
Great upload!
For all the apple haters , why you are here ?
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!
Cuz jobs changed the world his phone were good the apple now is just A quick cash grab
Steve was a natural genius. He had a natural instinct to tell a brilliant product from a mediocre one and to stay focused on product strategies. Plus, he was an astonishing CEO who kept on top of product development and was never contempt with what his company achieved. But his instincts was what kept apple on top of it's game. He wasn't unique, but there may be a few more decades until someone else like him gets noticed.
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
Thanks!!
You're mostly right on, there. Most of the things he made popular were already invented, like the mouse in 1963 by Engelbart. But what he was really good at was spotting that good stuff, selecting it, and putting the good stuff in your hands (including Woz's genius).
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.
ya know the greatest inventors of all time in my mind are Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Nikola Tesla , and they certainly made my life grand and they certainly never let me or my family down,
they should put his face in the logo like that in respect for him and the legacy he left behind.
One More Thing: Steve Jobs Is Legendary!
Thanks Steve. You changed the overall experience how we live, think and act in a positive way.
Thank you very much
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.
Awesome video. This video need more views! Great job PBS
This video really motivated me! Your the man Steve :)
HE WAS JUST A SIMPLE MAN WTF PEOPLE WAKE UP
he is right in my mind , I think skylar would agree your either born super driven or taught to excel, but greatness in all is done in fun if you believe and encourage the talent in your world , you’ll love your life more and the earths environment will always score 😊
this video is life changing video
Absolutely amazing.
I miss you Steve Jobs. I just hope your still alive. I will remember you forever.
We miss you!! :(((
He inspired me. :)
i respect steve for what he did in the earlier days of computers but the ipad and the newer macs like really it went down hill fast
