Objects of Our Life | Steve Jobs Archive
AI summary of the linked articleSteve Jobs urged designers at the 1983 International Design Conference in Aspen to help shape the personal computer, arguing that good design matters as much as the technology. He predicted the industry would sell three million computers in 1983 and ten million in 1986, whether or not they looked well designed, and said making a great-looking object cost no more money. Jony Ive's introduction recalls that Jobs also predicted PC sales would exceed car sales by 1986. Only 8 percent of households had a computer in 1984. |

1 comment 0x45cC...BF22Submitter I really loved how Jobs was so visionary that he predicted internet, social networks, LLMs, big tech and cryptocurrencies within a 20 minutes presentation. He always crafted each talk so meticulously that in this case he just named the talk 'Talk'. Down to the simplest terms. And he did this talk to both invite designers to join him at Apple to build the best designs possible and to learn why a computer is the next great thing. Really inspiring. |
