Playboy interviews Steve Jobs (from 1985) ↪
pile:
Comments (View)There are some hilariously dated remarks in here, but it’s incredible how much foresight Steve shows, especially when it comes to the crazy idea of the internet (the WWW was the breakthrough he predicted here):
JOBS: The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it into a nationwide communications network. We’re just in the beginning stages of what will be a truly remarkable breakthrough for most people—as remarkable as the telephone.
PLAYBOY: Specifically, what kind of breakthrough are you talking about?
JOBS: I can only begin to speculate. We see that a lot in our industry: You don’t know exactly what’s going to result, but you know it’s something very big and very good.
