This man in 97 is addressing and speaking for developers like he has the knowledge of 2024... he left this world too early. He was a visionary in every aspect
-
Crazy to rewatch in 2024. He was thinking about cloud computing in 97 and all what he predicted came true.

"I'm sure a lot of you have had this expirience where you're changing, you're growing as a person, and people tend to treat you like you where 18 months ago. And its really frustrating sometimes, when you're growing up and becoming more capable, and you've solved some personality quirks, people treat you like you where a year to 18 months ago, it can be very frustrating." - I can totally relate to this.
-
I just realized, the best thing I like about him - he doesn't treat ANY of his questioners with the attitude - "I know more than you, so STFU" - which most senior management do. As said - "Do the world a favour and start each conversation with the presumption that the other person is just as smart as you…"
-
"Go out and buy some shares" -Best advice ever
-
I absolutely love watching Steve talk. More soothing than bedtime stories.
-
and here we are, after 11 years, and still interested in him and what he said, respect & RIP
-
His acumen is unreal. At 19:30 you can see that he was not merely some idealistic visionary, but a master businessman. His time away from Apple, with NextStep and Pixar, sharpened him considerably.

Apples run from 2000-2010 is insane. Total domination of several markets. imac, ipod, macbook air, iphone, etc. they crushed the competition to pieces and actually caused the demise of several corporations
-
Man...... A person like this is so rare. He had all his priorities straight, didn't only talk about his goals but acted on it and he left the world a better place. Extremely inspiring.
-
What I miss, is that Jobs put himself as the face of his companies. He brought a personal connection to his partners, customers and developers. He had the attitude ( whether really the case or not ) made people feel like he was their friend. Blunt, honest but respectful and friendly. He had a way of talking to someone as a person. Not just as a potential customer. I feel that Apple just does not have that kind of charasmatic personality in anyone else.

In 1997 talking about what became “the cloud” and solid-state computers with no moving parts in them! 😃 Described how he has a computer at Pixar, Apple and at home and how cool it was to have access to his stuff no matter where he was. 🙂 Near the end he’s talking about iPhones or iPads... how “the thing” should have a keyboard and be on the network.
-
This is a tech conference - but he touches on personal growth (one foot in front of the other), focus (saying no to opendoc) honesty (apple's had it's head in the sand), the big picture (do great stuff, and the share price will look after itself). LEGEND, VISIONARY, RIP Steve.
-
Wow he said it, and now almost 14 years later we have the icloud. Even the small little things with keyboards connected to internet, we now have the smartphones. A legend he is.
-
I never really considered myself a Jobs fan but he really shines in this atmosphere.
-
this is crazy inspiring - to see someone layout a vison, believe in it and then execute
-
14 years later, I'm watching this as it streams over the internet, on my MacBook Air. Steve, I will see what you dreamed of today, in a few years. And then the rest of the world will see it in 10 years. Hopefully, that is enough lead time to get everyone else in gear to do some innovative thinking.
-
R.I.P, it wasn't till he's gone that I truly realise how much his presence meant
-
I am fascinated at watching Steve. His vision and his ideas are so clear. People creating technology today can learn from Steve and his ideas.

One thing I appreciate about Steve Jobs in this video, is his response to the questions he is asked. I'm not talking specifically about each answer to the question, rather what he does immediately after the question is asked. Most people are formulating their answer before the other person is done speaking, therefore not really listening. Steve Jobs, after being asked a question, often took a very long moment of silence, to actually think about the real answer to the question at hand.
