Bicycle of the Mind: Steve Jobs in 1980 #SteveJobs @Apple @Medium @stevesi
Learning by Shipping posts on Medium a look at Steve Jobs and his view of the computing industry circa 1980.
“When we invented the personal computer, we created a new kind of bicycle…a new man-machine partnership…a new generation of entrepreneurs.” — Steve Jobs, c. 1980
Such a remarkable quote and articulation. Some history and innovation, efficiency, rockets, privacy, ease of use, and the fact that hardware is not equal to software.
See the whole article for the full development of these ideas. Jobs’ speech is below as well as an ad from Apple at the time.
