@@lolyermad : Hello, Newman! ukposts.info/have/v-deo/rmiGiniejJpqqHk.html

you could say the same for current day people being looked upon 30 years from now. but computers really did revolutionize the ways things were done back then. things got smarter, faster, more precise.

you think the computer is a battle... good luck educating the masses on blockchain and decentralized systems ..looking back..its almost the same conversation that we are now having about bitcoin and the blockchain....im already in ;)

DarthScorpio11 For the time it was a really big deal.

I remember watching these. The public really didn't understand how important computers were so the media always pounded in the idea of how important and ubiquitous computers were

Joe Quinthorp can you at least put a capital 't' after the period? Smh.

He got it from a "Scientific American" article that was about locomotion efficiency in animals. Applying it to computers was his idea...

Broadly he’s referencing McLuhan, who described technology as an “extension” of the human body.

@referral madness You're missing the point; he has the wit & intelligence to use that metaphor to great effect in application to the conversation he was having.

Steve Jobs 26 year old genius: The computer is a bicycle. Me 25 eating toaster strudel: one more year until I become a genius!

Nope. I realized similiar methaphor. Not bike but weapon. How animal use claw, no matter how powerful the claw it fall below human when using sharp stone attach on the stick. When im 4 years old in 1993

No, only one of them was correct. The number of people who actually use computers for creative endeavors is minuscule. Computers have turned into 4 figure wank machines and the internet is now a glorified shopping mall.

@@keithd2284 that's kinda narrow minded don't you think? the very fact that you're commenting this on UKposts which is one of the biggest internet platforms contradicts your statement. Computers have evolutionized pretty much every creative practice there is, as well as made entirely new ones possible. Sure, most of the internet is porn and almost everything else in the world has also been renewed or replaced but that doesn't change the fact that he said something true, even if there is much more to it than that aspect.

@@pongofant2030 No, I wouldn't have said it if I thought it was narrowminded. My critique isn't of the technology itself, but rather the way it is used. UKposts itself is fundamentally an advertising platform. And it's far and away the best of the major social media platforms. You know... People had pen pals in the 70s. Not most of them, but a lot of them. And they wrote each other hand written letters... Now everybody has a million "pen pals" and they post silly cat pics and pop culture memes AT each other. People doodled... Now hand drawn animation is all but extinct. Don't even get me started about what has happened to the quality of music in the last 30 years. Ultimately, I don't think he said anything true. Sure, people draw and write and record music and make movies on computers, but people did all of those things prior to computers as well. Are more people engaging in more creative activity as a result of ubiquitous computing resources? I don't know, but I honestly don't think so. The drive to create seems to be innate to the human condition and it's been there since at least the time of the Spinx.

@@keithd2284 Sure people were recording music and making movies before computers but what technology has done is made it so ANYONE can make music or movies and put it on a platform where you can be seen and discovered. Before computers and the internet there was a huge barrier of entry for these things but now anybody can with a minimal of expense. The same thing can be said of almost any creative endeavor (building and distributing video games is also a good example). Basically tech is leveling the playing field.

@@keithd2284 You can take me for example. Currently my primary source of income is selling prints of my photography. Back in the day I would've had to either set up a stand on a corner or go through a gallery to sell my work. Now I can post my work to print-on-demand sites (that the whole world can access, or people can find listings via Google) then people can find my stuff and decide if they want to buy it. Also computers and digital tech have made it much easier to edit and store photos, no spending a fortune on film or using a darkroom. No storing negatives.

Watch some good podcasts, eg. Joe rogan, Lex Fridman etc.

You can blame computers for those not being around anymore.

Internet was already around. They also had private national network such as telenet and tymnet. Linked all kinds of computers together. In fact, you could link your home computer just like how you link it to the Internet today, just that was it was far more expensive to do.

They had what was called the ARPANET. And you could call other computers if they had a modem and so did you. Haven't you seen Wargames?

Steve Jobs is a reptilian.

The Govt invading our privacy was a concept that has been around since the 1940s.

🍷Agreed this one with Steve as well as the entire intro of computers taking over - privacy becoming a conference really stands out for its time..

GUIRADE Well I guess you had the feeling each contemporary had of Leonardo da Vinci, sir Newton or Henry Ford....every real genius is never fully understood in his early life and positions...or he/she would not be a genius being that genial thought is simply the ability to forsee and elaborate something that will happen in the future. I always use the example of Vincent VanGogh: his contemporaries not only didn't recognize his genius but openly told him he should do something other than painting at which he "was really awful", actually he famously sold only one painting only to his brother who bought it out of pity for his miserable economic conditions. Now the very discendants of his contemporaries queue up to see his marvelous work in the VanGogh National Museum in Amstrdam. :-)

Agreed - Strange example I know, but reminds me of the analogy my great grandmother used when us school girls hesitantly admitted we didn't like the boys from our school - only the boys from the school across town. Her response "No man is a prophet in his own land." It difficult to recognize greatness from people within our own social circles.

As much as I'm a proponent of Steve Jobs I don't think giving him umerited adulation is necessary. He wasn't a mathematician . He was just a mere salesman and an artist that understood the intricacies of simplicity. Pardon my double entandre.

He was an amazing visionary and inventor who mastered communication to the high art.

@Yahweh5995 , I am a mathematician and PhD. from the top university in America. After graduation, I worked on financial institutions focusing on the evaluation of the companies. Leadership is one of the most important factors in consideration. There were many PCs at time, without Steve Jobs' vision and leadership, Apple 1 was a toy for hobbyists. Apple 2 would disappear in a few years. Apple, as a company, would disappear and fail company in history in 1997, rather than being the most valuable company today. This world does not lack super smart people who understand the most advanced topics in mathematics or engineering.

At first, I thought he was anti-computer too but I think instead of being that he simply wanted people to acknowledge the potential dangers of heading into a computer world, and he was right. Today we got hackers, scammers, the NSA, and that famous computer just two years after this interview that wanted to play the game of thermal nuclear war lol

@@gorillaman283 🍺 you can have it back now

Yeah, but you've gotta keep in mind that personal computers were not common (1 in 1,000 household Jobs says in this interview), so he really doesn't want to admit to a wide (and largely computer-illiterate) audience the potential dangers.

He didn’t side step completely. He was speaking to an extremely digital illiterate crowd. His point was essentially a nice way of saying “if you know how to use a computer, you understand how it’s not going to control you.”

@@Josh-hz8vz They said computers but what they really meant was who controls your data/information controls you. They were pretty litterate on that one.

I.e., do you have any regrets about leading the digital revolution that ultimately integrated man and machine and enabled near-dystopian control (e.g., China)?

Trust me the average home computer was more in 1981 then in 2001. The prices came way down.

We had to wait in line before the store opened, then ran in. LOL. I learned how to type of "Touch Typing Tutor." program cartridge.

an apple IIe set up with cpu, monitor, and disk drives back in the early 80's was about 2000-3000 dollars. in current money that would be about 6000-9000 dollars so yeah they were expensive. one of my classmates's parents bought one back then and they didn't let anyone eat or drink near the thing. it was a huge investment for people.

Yeah, I feel the same way.

"Jobs seems to identify prevalent with literacy. That's a flawed assumption. Just because computers are everywhere, doesn't mean people understand them better." Catch me on this if I'm wrong... But isn't that exactly what is happening? Depending on how we define "literacy"-in the context of computers, as Jobs mentioned-whether it means the understanding of the inner workings-, how to program them or how to operate them; in any of the definitions that has hold true. - There are more developers now than ever, and it is growing rapidly. Jobs for programming are increasingly growing. - It's fair to say that most people know how to use a computer, being it a phone, tablet or desktop. - More and more hardware is coming out-mostly for enthusiasts-which allows you to program and build your own computers for little to no money. - Computers-and in some places, programming-is taught in school and used as learning and work tool. I think it's fair to assume, that a big part of the reason that this is possible is due to the wide distribution and availability of technology and computers in most-if not all-corners of the world.

You do realize people die everyday right? If computers become more apparent and taught at young ages then those like our grandparents and even our parents now who don't necessarily understand the functions of most technology, will eventually pass and their ignorance will fade with that generation. And from that will come a society that is fully aware of the fun and dangers of online usage and computers in general. The change towards that future has already begone and by the time 2030 comes around, i doubt anyone in America (and maybe the world too) will have any problems using a computer.
