This is old. You can pick up the full video here - http://www.siliconvalleyhistorical.org/#!steve-jobs-film/c1x... I did a couple years back. It's like $5 & well worth it
No shit. A 1994 video that's old.
Steve Jobs had such a way with words. I personally love this quote: "This is not a field where one paints a painting which will be looked at for centuries...This is a field where one does his work and in ten years it is obsolete." I loved the metaphor: "It's sort of like a sentiment of rocks. You're building up a mountain and you get to contribute your little layer of sedimentary rock to make the mountain that much h…
You meant 'sediment of rocks'?
> Steve Jobs had such a way with words.
Oh absolutely. There are so many classy lines from him. And some of these lines are going to impact our industry for years to come.
Take for example: The 'Post-PC era'?
Damn just those three words. They paint an altogether new story that is going to be written all over again! It gives an excitement and pumps blood back into what our industry does best - wow the users.
Steve Jobs might not be right about this. Apple's latest and greatest operating systems still implement quite a bit of functionality from Unix, which is much more than 10 years old. They still implement and use ASCII, JPG, TCP/IP, etc. Most mathematical papers, paintings, and churches don't inspire awe 200 years later. The vast majority are lost to time. Only the most original, revolutionary, or useful cultural artif…
I do see TCP/IP as an art form, but it's not one that ever gets examined. It gets used. There's a bit of a difference in my opinion.

I think if you had asked him specifically about software engineers working on underlying technology, he probably would have recognized that. After all, he was working on NeXT there, which was using that same technology.
This clip actually made me respect his intelligence more than I had prior.

These can last a long time, but look where PCX is now...

I think you're missing his point. None of what you listed is what Steve Jobs made. He made Apple I, Apple II, MacIntosh, etc. He was talking about his legacy. And he was right about it.

After all, he was working on NeXT there, which was using that same technology. This clip actu…
