They had MP3 players before the iPod, tablets before the ipad, and smart phones before the iphone.

Steve Jobs' ideas on how we should interact with technology were only possible because another man (Gates) had the crazy notion of putting a "computer on every desk and in every home." Through a unified framework (windows) Gates showed people that a computer wasn't some alien entity of big enterprise and instead was something that should be on your desk and in your home. He showed us that powerful technology could be harnessed by everyone regardless of the box it came in and provided an operating system that made computing ubiquitous. You wouldn't have a computer in your pocket (the iphone) if the idea of a personal computer for everyone was still foreign.

By saying Steve Jobs was Edison you are saying that Edison didn't actually build any of the stuff he made. Instead, you are saying that Edison saw the practical lightbulb (among other things), had a vision to change it, and then asked other people to build it for him. He was an Edison that couldn't build stuff himself and a Picasso that got others to paint for him.

Steve Jobs had a vision of how people should interact with technology that became a reality after other people brought technology to the world.

Before we could "think different" we had to already know how to think.
My obsession for knowledge of Steve Jobs and Apple has kept me up many nights. This is the 1st and hopefully only thing that I have researched this much. But my 1st post on here on 11-08-13 I had no apple products. As of now I am typing on a iMac5,1 iSight with a intel core 2 duo. I also have 2 imac g3 computers. Check this out. the imac g3 made in 1999 has a 330mhz processor 512mb ram. 40 gig hard drive.... I can search the internet, listen to music, hell I can watch videos on youtube! os x on the bastard! Blows my mind!
@MrSmartyPants

Jobs did an incredible amount in his lifetime. He was a highly intelligent, motivated and remarkable person.

...and he was an asshole. Accomplishment and virtue are not mutually exclusive. It is well known and well documented (even in his official biography) that he did treated others poorly, sometimes quite excessively. Does that make him stupid or unsuccessful? No. Does it make him an asshole? Yes.
Jobs was a super salesman with a very advance sense of intuitive user's mindset simplicity bundled with some artistic bull shit on the side.
Gates is an awesome copy cat with a more utilitarian and practical approach to technology.
Their just the gate keepers...the true tech heroes are the engineers and programmers who actually build all this cool stuff we have now. Their just to boring to be spoken of that's why they don't get any real attention.
Should check out Revolution OS next.
Great quality. English and Spanish audio options, no subtitles. Thanks
@Bronop is right on point, and this dude @backwordsman81 has a huge hard on for Steve Jobs, and for himself.

Yes, Steve Jobs was like Edison, in the sense that Edison stole all his ideas from Nikola Tesla and became known as a genius for it.
And yes, Jobs was a total d!ck, anyone who's work in the business for decades, and I'm talking about people that have worked with computers since the 60s, knows that Jobs was a total dickwad.

Look at the sh!t backwordsman81 says:

"I dont understand the comparison or need to compare Jobs with Gates. I will never understand why people do that."

If you don't understand this, you have no basic comprehension skills and probably wouldn't understand anything related to computing.
"All im saying is ive been a windows guy my whole life. I didnt give a rats ass about Steve Jobs. Hated iPhones, pads, pods or macs. But since seeing iSteve on Netflix and then the Ashton Kutcher film Jobs my eyes were open."

Sorry, but your personal taste has nothing to do with historical facts or accuracy.

"Asian companies 3 years prior to ipod released players that had major issues. Apple then released their product to become the 1st official mp3 player to be worth buying."

Jesus f*ck, are you listening to yourself? That doesn't change the fact that the idea of the iPod was stolen off of already existing technology.
"If Steve Jobs was never born your windows pc wouldnt exist right now."

For the love of god, STFU! The idea of single-person computers has existed since the 50s, and even in 1962 John Mauchly's words "There is no reason to suppose the average boy or girl cannot be master of a personal computer" were printed in the New York Times.

Even the Apple I came three years after the Xerox Alto, which had a GUI that was the inspiration for both the Macintosh AND Windows interface, so yeah, neither Jobs nor Gates came up with this concept, they both stole it. The Apple I looked like a f*cked up home built version of the HP 9800, and even then it was Wozniak that built it, all Steve Jobs did was come up with the idea to SELL IT to people.
Several personal computers with built in display monitors had come before the Apple I. In fact, every concept that was used as the basis for the Macintosh and Windows interfaces was already in existence and stolen from other ideas.

It seems you get all your info from watching movies, documentaries, and Wikipedia articles. Read some actual historical documentation instead of biased content, you'd get a lot farther with this topic.

If this guy backwordsman81 bent down any further for Steve Jobs and Apple, he'd be able to suck his own d!ck.
thanks! so far so good
thank you! :-)
