• Steve Jobs Interviews
An interview with Steve Jobs filmed on 2/18/1981 about the future of Apple, Computers, the Home & Personal computer markets, video games, and more.
He was 25 back then . I'm 25 sitting on screen watching youtube vids not knowing what to do with my life .
Just try something, anything, throw yourself into it fully and see where it leads. Keep doing that. Not only will you gain lots of skills and knowledge about yourself you'll be really well prepared with transferable skills when you find what you want to do.
You got this. Hang in there! 😊
Maybe take the mbti test free online and learn about yourself and the jobs that might interest you.

Everything will be fine and you’ll have an amazing life!!!
Can't believe Steve was only 26 here. A titan among CEOs and business starters. RIP ol' Steve.
Back in those days, people were more matured in their 20s. Nowadays, people are still like kiddies in their 30s.
@@karstent.66 When sharing advice/opinions/ about schools and doing drugs:
Turn your advice about schools around, PARENTS HOMESCHOOL you own offspring, cause the government ain+t caring and have clearly said that many times. About drugs? Correct here, stay away. But there is one big problem none of us take into account: TVs - the most popular drugs in every household. Daily watching TV = doing drugs daily. The MK ULTRA MIND CONTROL - search, soul, and start giving out real valuable advice.
Stop repeating whatever the TV (most powerful weapon formed against humans minds) spreads.
And souls, homeschool your offspring fully out from school programs or the home-schooling of yours and homeschooling at all.
Evolution of Television 1920-2020 (updated) - the greatest weapon ever created.
And as we promo the A. I and all the ways it can be used, we promo deceiving others and being deceived.
@@karstent.66 school system got worse
@@karstent.66 what has the MTV done to you son?
@@karstent.66 He definitively had a way with words, which is not that common anymore specially with young founders. No "ummm" or "like" fillers showing a streamlined clear thinking of ideas from mind to sound.
Steve Jobs had a beautiful, elegant way of describing complex concepts in very simple, understandable ways.
@Mia L I thought the same, that’s what salesperson do. They may talk out of their ass. He also doesn’t address questions he goes about a rant and brings up other subjects to change the conversation and not address the questions.
Yeah! That’s what I was thinking
Sort of like Elon. It's crazy
@Shez Nothing like Elon
If he's so smart, how come he's dead?
I'm watching this on my macbook pro. incredible.
was thinking the exact same thing
Jeez...the first word I think of when watching this is VISIONARY like no other.... So much of what he said is spot on 40 years later.
Clearly, what made him and Apple success was a crystal clear vision since the very beginning without any type of uncertainty.
Yes. I'm 6 years younger than Jobs, experienced the rise of Apple and personal computers in real time. Still, was struck repeatedly while reading "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson just how clear and unwavering his vision was. You hit the nail on the head! I would strongly recommend that book to anyone interested. Fascinating guy, fascinating life. A true visionary, whatever his personal flaws.
Thank you for saying this.
Huh? Apple was a failure of a company for decades. They got it right with the iPhone
@@Hawkgoulet Apple II? iMac? iPod?
Pure unwavering conviction. Satoshi Nakamoto (Bitcoin), whoever he/she/ they were, had the same vision. People like this don't come around too often.
I’m watching this on an Apple iPhone, in the middle of an oil field, in 2021.
Isn't it amazing? This interview was not long ago in terms of how long society has existed, yet there you are holding a pocket computer watching this.
Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault.
I watching this on iPad 12.9” Pro 512GB in 2024
Ps. I was born 7 months after this interview 😆
I'm watching this as a hologram, on Titan, in 4237.
Thank you thank you thank you to whoever let this unedited version out to the public
Watching this on an iPad, thank you Steve. Brilliant fellow that left us too soon.
He was a jerk who treated people horribly. Good riddance.
@@hockeyfan7100 Well yea. But unfortunately a lot of revolutionary people are that way.
@@hockeyfan7100why good riddance? That’s kind of callous isn’t it?
I'm amazed at how professional the interviewer is. Kinda blows my mind nobody credits him anywhere.
I feel the same way. Thought the questions themselves were excellent, especially considering back in 1981 most journalists would not be familiar with the topic. He did his homework.
I like the ending of the video where he repeats the questions. The guy is a solid interviewer. Perfect for the job.
They were all good back then. It's a circus now.
Looks and sounds like a very young Peter Jennings
@@lecannois that's got to be him
“I know the privacy issue is very hot in the media today.“
Some things don’t change.
@eblman huh?
They lied to him, they didn't edit-out the parts where he goofs up.
@@jgbalboa The view of privacy on the Internet was vastly different. Earlier, it was seen as possible to make strides in through various encryption methodologies. But, now privacy is an issue beyond hacking, but ensuring security of information is on another level. There is a lot more info in the hands of large corporations and government institutions. Our understanding of the privacy issue has changed a lot.
@@jgbalboa They didn’t lie to him, this is the raw footage.
Like breathing , some things you need.
Watching this man converse is very encouraging for my own path that I want to take!
I love that this is the unedited tape. That question he asked to repeat is great insight into how these things happen.
Makes you wonder why he'd bother, no? It's still being recorded, and what would he have done during a live interview in front of an audience. It is interesting indeed
@@PaperRaines It shows his ego.
@@PaperRaines For television, they would typically edit out his first response. If there was a live audience, he would change his direction with the next sentence.
I was 25 then and had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and I look at this interview and am in absolute aww at his drive this is probebly the best Steve jobs interview I have seen to show the real person he was . Thanks for sharing
@zuck diggerman HIs life didn't suck. Having a purpose and following through is very rewarding.
I'm pretty sure he knew the questions and prepared before to do a perfect take. That's why he asked to repeat when he said a mistake.
@Technotroll Yeah except you didn't follow through and nobody has any evidence whatsoever of your visions of the future that turned out to be correct.
He had a lot of drive to steal and be dishonest
Wow, it’s so satisfying to read Steve’s biography, and watch him on RUclips a second later. Thank you technology
No problem
It's synchrocity
Some guys literally defined the way we live now and Steve sure is one of them. Can’t believe he was just 26 at that time.
Yes, he was genius.
@@SD-hr4tr Steve had $60k contract when he was just 21, which is 270k today...
edit: its 270k...
@@yt-sh also tell what happened after 1981 apple stock just crashed
@@vip-cw1st well he had stocks which crashed . he was rich so much he didnt care about money as much as the products he made...
@@yt-sh his net worth dropped 10 times
The clarity he had in that day and age is amazing.
probably the acid
@@justin_ooo I totally agree with Justin. The knowledge Jobs had and his age 25, fing amazing! What a futurist and pioneer in technology..... Jobs is such a workhorse in developing the future , he has no time to take a vacation! Unreal.........
@@justin_ooo Yeah I was about to say... the acid probably helped.
Steve was ahead of his time, he was a genius
That is a good point. He has that like, real early computer guy swag, like he invented it!
I see a lot of ppl comparing themselves and I just want to say… what made Steve, Steve, was the fact that he wasn’t trying to be anyone other than Steve. He was trying to embrace his mind and his ideas and his view of the world and its future. Nothing wrong with watching and learning but if we want to get to our highest selves, we cant keep comparing and contrasting. Just worry about being you and you’ll rise.
Thanks for the advice. Really good .
Exactly right 😊
I needed this thank you
I just absolutely love this clip. Both hearing Steve and taking a peek "behind the scenes" at the same time. This is a historical video.
why was the apple logo rainbow ???
@@derick3482 they were the first computer company to offer color graphics
@@derick3482 Because the Bay Area in California. The rainbow was very present in in 1970s-80s Bay Area. There were perhaps more rainbows (in an arched shape) on cars then than even today.
@@MrMarkOlson it was because the apple II was color
I feel like a time traveler watching it on my phone.
i was one of the kids in minnesota who steve mentioned. in 1989 i used an Apple 2 in elementary school. it was so futuristic back then to walk into a room full of computers. i still remember it to this day. this was in the minneapolis public school district. they had great facilities in those days.
I am young guy I see what Apple is heading with there technology with Apple AR iPhone iPad
@@Zombie-210what do you mean?
His grasp of the past and present lent itself to his prescience of the future. Breathtaking brilliance!
All his ideas from 1984 are so accurate. The effort in drawing parallels from existing concepts and nature shows how much time he has spent in understanding and developing his approach. Genius.
acha.
@@melessa18 banau tera acha
His ideas
It’s very special to see him as a young man, not fully sure of himself-and clearly very hard on himself when he finds himself short of perfection (maybe explains why he was hard on others)-yet there is no doubt that Steve is in there. Also shows how much he has continuously grown as a person over the years after this interview.
I love old footage like this mostly because it’s incredible how long the footage lasts if of course taken care of properly and it’s also insane that some videos if not the first video uploads in history say 17 - 18 years later.
Sitting here at home 40 years after this was made in 2021 watching this on an Android phone just speaks volumes about what he's saying 😉 Steve Jobs was a visionary.
Except your phone should really be an iphone not an Android. WINK!!!
@@senju2024 bahaha I was gonna say the same
@@senju2024 If you want a phone that is both cheaper and has more features, Android is the way to go. Apple only went to bigger screens a few years back because several Android phones had already gone that way.
Apple isn't the innovator is used to be under Jobs.
It feels like he's not speaking to society from 1981, he was talking about us in 2021. I just realized right now, watching this video on my iMac and checking my portfolio on the stock market on my iPhone this morning 😳
Really interesting, and what a burn “tv always seems to aim for the lowest common denominator...” ouch
Thanks for the great content!
TV has changed immeasurably since the 70s and 80s.
And ironically, so does social media nowadays..
@@newmantopia Yeah.... for the worse, as Steve predicted.
@eblman Yep, RUclips being much more customized can go into great detail. Some of vloggers on crypto go crazy and then can
sorry for the ignorance, but what does "lowest common denominator" stand for?
This whole video is awesome! As someone who’s used “Apple Computer” since ‘91 back in trade school, this is gold! Also, as a teacher in multimedia and tv production, the ending of this video with the B-Roll is also a practice we teach and I will definitely show this to my high school students. I’m in tears at the joy of how this video will be used in my classroom for educational purposes! Thank you!😢 🙏🏼
Can't believe that Steve was so confident during 1981 on the future of 21st century computer world.
And CEO of a multimillion dollar company at age 25!!!
He had already been to the mountaintop and seen the future?
he would say "they are all bozos"
its the 80's. you can see he has coke rushes all interview :)
Yes
This clip is so candid. It really gives an insight on how he was as a person
acha.
@@melessa18 banau tera acha
I had already studied BASIC programming on an IBM 370 mainframe by this point and knew I wanted a career in computer science at age 16. In 1985 I bought my first computer, an Apple IIe, just as a hobby to help me learn. By 1989 I had my first professional job in IT (and I'm still in it). Even though I have always been a PC guy since because I support businesses, Steve Jobs has always been one of my idols. He was earth-staggering brilliant, and I love his visions about the user experience.
That is awesome good for you! I remember in 86 my first computer was bought for me of a Commodore 64 with floppy disc lol I was 13 ❤
Watching this on my Macbook Pro 2015. Amazing computer, i've had it for a long time and it's served me extremely well.
You must not ask much if it 😂
@@wills242you must of had ridiculously unrealistic expectations because, just like the commenter above, my Mac is still running smooth as ever.
My oldest Macintosh is 24 years old, and she stills run perfectly! ❤️ (I also have a 22 year old MacBook, a 13 year old MacBook, a 9 year old MacBook, and a 6 year old MacBook…all amazing machines! ❤️)

8:37 Creative knowledge work. Creative work > technical drudgery work

Does it make me dumb if I didnt understand what he talked about?

@@lemon-ade3857 Nope, it makes you smart to have listened
2021: Your privacy is pretty much gone (well, it's actually stored in the cloud "securely"), and Apple is blocking proper repairs by independent repair shops by serializing their parts, disabling replacement cameras, etc. Steve would probably turn in his grave if he knew all this.
@@lemon-ade3857 no
An incredible interview. He was almost like Arthur C Clarke of computing. So evangelical and visionary. One of a select few.
Holy shit where has this been? Imagine all the lost footage we'll never see.
What about footage before footage. Imagine that.
I read once that Apple gave several feet of archives to the Computer History Museum if I am right. A mix of footages, pictures and files regarding Apple since the early days. Also, if you add the idea that many people who have been in touch directly with Jobs or relatives at anytime (work, events, etc...), a lot of rare things are missing.
@@wiscatbijles It really gets the imagination going
It's probably been sitting on Umatic in the broadcaster's vault. Umatic keeps a lot better than VHS garbage (so do the VCRs, for that matter). There's tons of cultural heritage buried on deteriorating video as we speak... uh, type.
You're correct, this was taken from a Umatic.
"Ask me in five years." - crazy smile - staring into the camera.
5 years later, he was no longer at Apple.
I love how his answers sounds like stories, so the listener not just get the answer, but understands why so.
The thing that impresses me about this interview is the clarity which Jobs had even in 1981 about the future of computing.
It’s cause he visited the Palo Alto Research Center in 1979 where group of engineers at Xerox basically built the foundation for modern computing that Jobs later copied and sold
@@truthbearer7891 also don't forget Wozniak made the darn thing not Jobs 🤣
God man... I just love the way Steve speaks so freakin much... it's so amazing... his level of awareness, his ability to use brilliant analogies to convey incredibly broad and vast ideas! Forever inspired!
If only he'd listened to doctors and gotten actual cancer treatment, instead of thinking he could just eat fruit to cure himself.
reporting live from the year 2024!... you put us into this mod life hell steve!!. all day we flicker thru shorts, reels, tiktoks and neglect our friends, kids, wives, homework, duties, errands.. thanx for the technology you gave us...
@semjasesemjase2826 the entitlement and the way you confidently misdirected your frustration. Let’s make it clear: we are better with technology than we are without it. Granted there are cons of technology usage but that’s more so after Steve had passed. You and everyone else have the responsibility to control one’s technology usage. No one told you to neglect your life, daily tasks, or loved ones. That’s a choice you’ve made..
Since he was young he had this confidence and unparalleled charisma that no other CEO in the valley had. Say what you say about him but he was one hell of CEO
I never liked Steve Jobs... But I feel I should reconsider my opinion on him, now that I have a better understanding of his character after seeing this Interview..
He only knew success from an early age. A 400% growth in business every year from age 24 to the very day he died would warp anyone's expectations of others.
Yes, he was a fucking asshole..
But nobody can ever say this man was not intelligent. This man was excellent at his job.
@@nthny1875 Good that youre able to hold both of those dissonant opinions at the same time. Most people let their personal likes or dislikes cloud their eventual judgement of a person.
True
He got very lucky that he knew Steve Wozniak who invented the apple 2 which did really well despite jobs, he had one failed product after another working for apple then finally got the imac, he wasn't very good, he just has a cult following, really interesting person though
@@Pepespizzeria1 is spot on... Jobs is a complete and total douche, who is falsely believed to be some important figure; that is Woz. Every single project that Jobs brought to market either flopped or sucked cash from remaining Apple II sales. The original Mac was only usable to basically play simple games - it didn't have enough RAM to do any productivity software, graphics software, etc. It was a complete fraud.
"adapt the computers more to the way people are familiar with doing things, so that people have to adapt less to the way computers do things" love it
Linux guys won't like this line :D
@@trotro80 fuck linux

Wow an amazing person with so much confidence, knowledge and intelligence He spoke the language of 21 century. just amazing and breathtaking interview May you Rest in peace you will never be forgotten Steve you gave so much to humanity You Changed the world beyond belief Thank you Mr Jobs
I Wonder What Steve Jobs Would Think About Todays IPhone
@@mikolajpaluch4927 He would have fired the designers and people responsible to approving some of the worst "features" implemented. The iphone would look nothing like it does today. Camera bump, widgets, app library, notch, the big screens, would be absent imo
@@mikolajpaluch4927 he's the man of innovation. he'd have stopped making iphones past iPhone 11. And worked on a project that would help humanity in better ways.
Actually, he (co-)created this language.
25 years old!? Jeez, his communication skills are through the roof!
You believe he is 25 here. Sure keep smoking
@@TruenorthmtGod he was 25 here though, this was filmed only a week before his 26th birthday.
@@TruenorthmtGod What @G B said. Also, they mention his age in the video. ALSO, what are we smoking?
@@TruenorthmtGod ..he was born in 1955, and this interview was in 1981, make the math..!
@@TruenorthmtGod He made Apple at 20 years old and sold millions of computers by 21 and he started out with nothing. Even people double his age cannot do that
he was very clear and definitive in his thoughts and statements
Pure genius. Kudos to the interviewer and writers for the insightful questions.
This video is from 1981, but looking at him and the confidence he's speaking with, it feels like he has strong vision how life's going to be. and for me it feels like as if smartphones and digital world was already there, where in reality in 1981 it takes a lot to dream of such things.
if you were into technology at the time it would not of taken much to think of such things it would seem obvious.
He said it would take about 10 years to for personal computers to really get a foothold in the home market. And he was right. We bought our first personal computer in 1990 and the rumblings of the internet were just around the corner.

Thanks for putting this up for viewing. Real gem
Here I am, watching this while multitasking on my $750 iPad Pro M2, the thinnest and most portable and powerful Macintosh device I’ve ever owned (I grew up in Cupertino in the 80’s and 90’s so I used a lot of them), thinking that Steve Jobs and the rest of the company at Apple (here’s lookin at you Woz) had it totally correct. Their company would revolutionize personal computing since then and even now. Very impressive.
So interesting to think of the circumstance that when this interview was done only a bit over 3 decades passed since the first mechanical computers right after WW2, yet the video as of now is 41 years old. he was closer in time to those monstrous machines than to our world, yet was so on point in describing the way the world would take in the next 10-20 years that he build his entire industry and life around it. really fascinating stuff.
Yup god bless the macintosh
Really good comparison to establish perspective!
first mechanical computers were one hundred years BEFORE WW2. He is just a manager talking bullshit and having no idea how any of it works
Life is really short and can not believe that he is not among us anymore, what a pity losing such a person. he made a big changes in the world of technologies, god bless him
Among us
Watching this interview and I stared at the MacBook Pro logo for a moment.
just wow man.
I feel the tranquility of that period from behind the screen. It was a quiet time with little noise.
Smart devices are one of the most beautiful blessings we have ever had, but they have their taxes.
The word ‘genius’ really does apply to SJ. A brilliant visionary who has changed the way we live, work and communicate.
When 1984 was the future. This was the beginning of the greatest decade of all times.
I woul want so much to live it again if I could!
Agree, innovation, women were fit, great music, fun times
The greatest decade of all times hasn't happened yet
I am born 2005 but from what I see it seems like 80 and 90s were the best time to be alive
@@djflawless8730 Correct, they were great decades.
I really enjoyed this, thank you.
The crazy part is he was 25 years old here!!! wtf!!!!!!!!! He talks so much sense and reason at his young age, and he created Apple at 20!! This guy is unbelievable...
There was a lot less distractions in his time, although I love entertainment I wish I would have grown without it.
80s culture was the
This is standard communication for a lot of intelligent people and academics. It worries me to think that, in the 2020s, people think it's not normal.
Thank you for uploading this!
I am watching this video from my Macbook. Thank you Steve for such legacy which you left for us.
This interview was made on the day I was born and he already knew how our lifes would look like today that I'm in my early 40s... Future generations will mention him in their history books alongside Leonardo Da Vinci, Thomas Edison, etc.
....digital history books lol
Thomas Edison? lol
I must need sleep. I was expecting this to be a video of Steve partaking in several job interviews...
Spoiler: he got fired in the end
Haha best comment
Wow.. to finally understand where the "bicycle for the mind" tagline comes from. 5:31 to 6:20
It actually comes from Alan Kay at the Xerox Parc.
He is one of many who can visualize the world of tomorrow, but one of the few who actually implement what they visualize.
Amazing historical material and. I’m watching this while having (long) Saturday breakfast 2023 using a 2019 IPad A2.
This is wild. As I’m watching on my Apple iPhone. Steve Jobs was a legend and it’s crazy how advanced his mind was.
It still amazes me today, how he gathered insights, confidence, and eloquence on himself yet he dropped out of university.
It's because university is one of the worst places for highly creative and self starting people. University is about group think and doing things the way it's been done in the past. That's like the exact opposite of Steve Jobs.
Im not saying that university doesn't have its place, it certainly does. But more and more, universities are becoming increasingly worthless, however more expensive.
Don't forget he's only 25 here
And no RUclips and Wikipedia
When you realize you are smarter than your teachers I guess the thought is what is the point. It sounded like he had a vision for the world from this video. He might have just wanted to get on with it and not waste any time. He certainly did achieve what he set out to do.
Listening to him here I have become convinced that some people are just born different. He was only 25 and had already accomplished alot and was able to articulate so clearly his vision for the world as it relates to technology.
Why is that amazing? Schools and universities destroy people's minds.
This is TV for US and WE. Nothing to gain from Steve Jobs. Until Steve took control of the conversation!!! 😊😊
Great Job Steve👍
Even Steve Jobs himself looks like Ashton Kutcher :D
Well....Ashton kind of looks like Steve :)
I thought it was Kevin Malone
...did ..rip
Well duh, that's why Ashton got the movie
@Richard Hunting Just watched it, it was horrible!
The reporter has good short term memory, I wouldn't be good at resaying some of the long sentences, guess that's why most people in TV use a teleprompter (talking about the end section of this videoclip). Great video, nice to watch to get some insight from the earlier days of Apple.
I was here! Probably in the future again, because this video has a lot of nuggets in it so watching it over and over again will bring out more.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..

Such a young man here and even then he only had 30 years left, poor guy. There was so much more left in him when he passed.
I can only imagine how great this man's parents were and how wonderful his upbringing was, nature and nurture coming together in harmony.
I think he was adopted, but we’re probably still helpful
@@chrismichaelis7259 He was, but the ones who adopted him did such a wonderful job.
@@ArthurFeitosa-s5pyep, they loved him and Steve considered them his real parents, in his own words.
What an amazing interview. This guy is a genius. He was way ahead of his time. I wish I could meet him. But his legacy lives on. Yo, I'm still making beats on my original MacBook pro from 2013. What an incredible machine. 10 years old and she's still running strong, factory fresh with that new car smell. Truly. He was a master of transistor design and electric mechanical art.

Holy sh*t they only had one camera and had to reshoot all the questions from a different angle!?! Amazing :)
But the year was 1981 !!! Millions of persons would give everything if they can go back and live again in this so cosy ,sweet,wonderful year , the year of their own fairtyale -like childhood or thrilling teenhood or sweet early youth....
@@bitterly_sorrying yep. I was 2 :). A great time to be alive.
Oh thanks for the explanation. I was wondering why he had to ask the qs again.
Still pretty much a standard procedure to shoot with one camera.
1981 interview with Steve Jobs is a modern marvel. RUclips has created moving image immortality. So much footage has been made available for learning. As everyone knows hindsight is 20/20. But as much as I enjoy this entertainment I would gladly trade it for a good saddle horse and open land to explore. I love this overview of history.
Today is 30 July 2024 AD
Brilliant man... Who knew he would change the world of computing as we know it. It is because of the optimist like Steve that the world progresses
The first time I met him, he threw me out of a moving limo. 😂
(paraphrasing): "Would you say that in the 21st century personal computers would be as ordinary as a fridge..." To think that the actual answer (speaking in the 21st century) is "no" - as I have one fridge and I don't know how many computers/compute clusters I have in every room of my home. Amazing.
What do you do? Mine bitcoin
@@hardy2175 I mean, I think everyone has more than one computer.
@@hardy2175 Well, in a normal 2021 household you'd have plenty of computers in basically every appliance and personal computers. Fridges, TVs, consoles, lighting, kitchen appliances, clocks, laptops, tablets, phones, watches, cars, just to mention few😅 I calculated mine, and in my house i own 18 different computers.
Right, your car is also a computer, don’t you know it 😅
Wow. Such a great interview. I'm surprised how many things he spoke about are still valid after 40 years. Easy to use, privacy, intelligent devices
The power of Steve Jobs, is that he never doubted his convictions and belief. When the path it's so strong you are like a train running on trails you know where you are going.
The thing we should consider it's the fact that are the winners that write the history, and this is the reason why we hear only these winning stories...there are other tons of similar personalities that are were so convinced about their belief but they get them wrong....we will never hear that stories!
100%
even if he never invented anything, but just exploited other people that currently are fading away in history. I bet a lot of people have no idea who Steve Wozniak is. But hey, who really appreciates the true genius :))
@@cezartorescu A lot less people would've known Wozniak without Steve.
Yeah, it's called Survivor's bias.
He was a super intelligent human being that the fast growing computer and IT world miss!
This is an incredible interview-so interesting. Jobs has the ability to connect with his audience. As I watch this, I feel like he is talking to me. Is that genius? I don't know, but he certainly had something that is hard to explain. This is a 25-year-old guy who is talking like he has already lived a lifetime. The interviewer is very good, too. The whole package is an amazing piece of history.
Steve was answering the filler conversations at the end much more relaxed and naturally. I actually wanted to hear about his management approach MORE than the typical computer visionary stuff.
He was awesome! Screaming at people. Hitting them with furniture, breaking bones. Then the next day, the guy would limp in and beg for his job back
@feederx08 which porno sites have u been visiting mate?
@@feederx08lmao, if you don’t care about the man then why are you here? 😂
I was 14 then, and for me that was the best era of computing for a true computer geek. What computing has become has benefited the world massively, but I do miss the magic of those early years.
The above interview was about 1 year before I got my CBM64 - my all time favourite computer 😁
- I still have it!
Very inspirational man this man very inspiring for me to achieve a goal...
On this day in '81 I was working a 16 hour shift on a ship offshore Brazil. My BBC Micro Model B back at home was my personal computer, but I loved my amazing original blue Sony Walkman more. Apple to me was the Beatles' record label: no way could I ever afford Apple computers. (Typed on a 2013 MacBook Pro, the best laptop I've had.)
Brilliant man. I don’t envy a lot of ways he lived personally but I appreciate his genius.

I never tire of listening to Steve Jobs interviews.
25 years old and he had set up a complete new business area for the global market and was dominating it him self.
When I was 25 I was still exploring alcohol and women and be part of average fun activities with no ambitions in life. Like a hamster in its wheel.
Feels so odd in post perspective.
At least I started getting ambitions in life as I hit 30.
same feelings!
And what new business area for the global market are you dominating now that you hit 30?
the first 30 years of your life you develop your habits. the second 30 years your habits develop you. if you hit 30 with the habits you do want to maintain, you’ll become who you want to be.
@Mystic Editor And you are?
@@luigil8439 he is ceo of Tesla now
sophisticated simplicity
He looks sympathetic , the kind of guy that could be your friend. The later version of him was somehow completely different. I enjoyed the video, thanks for uploading. Apart from the historical value it was a good talk.
Good observation
An incredible interview, so inciteful & accurate looking back. I really got the sense he could see where the world was headed. I bet a lot of people at the time were dismissive of the subject; visionaries like Jobs, Musk, etc really do change the course of our civilisation through sheer belief of their ideas. I loved the bicycle example, and the closing answer shows Jobs' innovative nature, one that most likely lead Apple to where we see it today.

Musk? Really?
It's really outstanding
2022: Most of us watching his interview on an iPhone 😊
Apart from seeing a young Steve Jobs, it was interesting at the end to see all the raw footage and the way the camera angles are staged. He certainly nailed some big issues, like how difficult these computers were to use. But I was struck by how much my life has been affected by his early vision. I learned to program on an Apple II (like the kids from MN that he mentioned) because BASIC was the OS. You were confronted with a command prompt and you had to type BASIC code to have the computer do anything at all. As a kid using a computer lab without access to floppies or a hard drive, I found coding interesting, but most of the kids in my school had little interest or inclination. In contrast, I'm sure all the applications Steve spoke about used pre-written code and data stored on some kind of drive, which would have vastly increased the cost of the computer. Tape was the low-end storage solution, but I don't recall ever seeing a tape drive for the Apple II. I don't recall when Apple introduce graphical user interfaces, but 10 years after this interview when I could afford my first computer, they were still low-powered and hard to use. A 386SX with a 32MB HD was > $1000 and ran DOS and connected to the university modems at 2400 BAUD.
I constantly learn from him ... 40n years later, and CONNECT THA DOTS...
This is amazong footage!! Cant have enough of steve jobs!!!
"Can I take that question again?" Love that
Reveals that his answers are rehearsed. He's not talking about the evolution of engines off the top of his head.
@@GizmoMaltese well I guess 90% of interviews are rehearsed nowadays
@@aaronschulze1250 Yeah, but when you don't know that you believe people are smarter than they really are. For all we know some flunky researched and wrote these talking points.
Of course, Jobs was a genius but I think he was more a creative genius than a technical one.
@@GizmoMaltese Well of course. Do you go into a job interview unprepared? And if you did go in unprepared, how well do you think you would do?
@@briankarcher8338 Yeah, but here he is scripted. He went off script and had to redo it.
When I didn't know he was basically reciting a rehearsed script, I was impressed by the depth of knowledge of historical manufacturing.
I'mn to really knocking him. The older I get the more I realize how good people are at creating an image.
That insight for that time period is wild! If i lived in 1981, I'd have 0 clue of what was being said here. Ofcourse all of this makes sense in modern times but 1981.. he knew his shit. Excellent CEO.
“Adding to man’s inherent ability he already has.” I wish he were still here to give us his insight into the exponential growth of AI.
Imagine if Steve Jobs was still
alive today in 2022 and saw this interview that he did
41 years ago. I'm sure he would be very proud of himself. It's truly mind-blowing what he was able to do all those years!! I can still remember like yesterday growing up in N.O. Louisiana in the early eighties as a kid playing some computer
games at Eckerd drug store in my neighborhood that Steve probably had made and also using his Macintosh computer to do my papers in college in the late eighties. It's truly mind-blowing how far Apple Co had come in inventing, transforming, creating, pioneering, designing, and making some amazing products and services that the whole world now uses to ENRICH and transform our lives as Steve had said many times in this interview. He was absolutely right!! This man was real and had no hype about what he had said.
He did exactly what he had set out to do and lastly imagine if he was still alive today and what more he could have done all those years.
Thanks for all your amazing work Steve and R.I.P!!
Such a visionary...blows me away.
