      Absolutely, this man did it all by observation. He once said how visiting Xerox PARC completely opened his mind to all the ways we could innovate and interact with technology. His genius came from observing and predicting human evolution. A sociology teacher once told me he had a feature which almost no one noticed about him. He was an ethnographer for many decades and no one noticed. People only saw the end product and thought he was just a genius inventor, but it went so much deeper than that 🎯💯👌

      The entire industry was working toward this. It was a collective vision. There are segments from a 1967 series on the 21st century done by Walter Kronite in which he showed a home of the future, The home had a computer that allowed you to access weather, stock quotes, and news online. He showed how you'll be able to read the news on the screen, and then print a hard copy if you want. He showed video phone calls. She showed a computer in the kitchen that the mother used to recalculate the measurements for a recipe if she had a few more people eating over, and the kids used the computer to complete their homework --- they were doing math problems, and the computer told them whether or not they got the correct answers. That was over a decade before the Mac. In another episode it showed how computers were already being used to design cars, including generating 3-D drawings. How they were being used to control jetliners.

I myself described everything that was going to happen. It was very clear to everyone that everything we were doing on laptops we would also be doing on cell phones. People seem to believe that Jobs invented computers and the idea of networks --- and that simply is not true. @@MiamiWebDesign

      He thought about profits only. He killed user upgradable and very popular Apple II with Macintosh, a less powerful and proprietary non upgradable computer that tanked in the market despite costly promotion. Apple still follows the same ideal, charging $200 for a ram upgrade. Apple II was built by Wozniak almost single handedly and he could build things on his own, unlike Jobs who was just a salesman. It is sad that Wozniak's vision of Apple computers were killed despite them being the cash cow which saved the company during it's tough times.

    A lot of people think about how visionary Jobs was but he really wasn’t what he was remembered for until he came back to apple in the late 90s. In fact, most of Apple’s early issues were from him for example:
    -He helped design the Apple II case and his insistence on no vents led to the first run of machines to MELT causing them all to be recalled and replaced.
    -He led the Apple III project which was a colossal disaster
    -The Lisa flopped even harder than the A3 and Macintosh wasn’t the runaway success that Apple likes to say it was either.

But those engineers did persevere and worked in secret to try prove him the concept again a few months later. Then they made two teams compete to design the product.
      When job presented the iPhone he made seems like it was his idea and vision. But the true visionary people who imagined it after seeing the Fingerwork's prototype.

      I know it was so crazy that our lives were never the same. I had to move far away I left my family changed my name and I was eating off the land because how mad and unrecognizable the world has become. Nights became days' days became nights, lions became herbivores and rabbits became carnivores.

    If you watch his 1984 Macintosh presentation, you would know that he is actually talking about Macintosh here. It took about two years to develop it so timeline also matches as this video is from 1981. He talked about all these points in the presentation

    Bit of a stretch to say he's 'predicting the iPhone' as he doesn't mention anything about a phone once. He's basically saying computing will become more accessible to the average user over time.

    His insight here in 1981 that ease of use requires higher sophistication in the device applies no doubt to the iPhone also. Remember his iPhone presentation that showed the "smartphones" of the day, all of which were extremely difficult to use. Then, remember the lineups when the iPhone went on sale.

    The thing that most of these guys missed (Ken Olsen don't get me started) was how connectivity drives the market. Starting with Cable Modem in mid to late nineties, and then wireless data. Those of us on BBS's back in the day understood this, of course Jobs was a master of self promotion.

    He's talking about bitmapped graphics, every pixel is addressable that way Apple could create graphical user interfaces. A couple years before this he went to Xerox and saw the Xerox Parc. His team "copied" or iterated off that idea and he released the Macintosh in '84, Xerox got paid in Apple stock.

  • @ALurkingGrue
    @ALurkingGrue 6 месяцев назад

    As a person that has been using computers since 1981 this isn't a prediction of the iphone but the Macintosh. He had seen what Xerox Parc was doing two years prior and was working towards the Lisa at this time. In fact that IS what he is saying because What Xerox was doing required more power that could be handled by home tech. This was the time of Apple II and to do a GUI it required MUCH more CPU than was reasonably inexpensive for the home market. Context Matters with history.

  • @shanedyer3230

    Where's the prediction? He simply regurgitated contemporary knowledge... that computers had become easier to use and would continue to become easier to use. That statement is still true today.
    He didn't even predict that they'd fit in our pockets or even have a GUI.

    More of a philosophy or a mission statement than a prediction, and it was less about the iPhone and more about GUI-based operating systems. And he was right, because by the early 90s, GUI was mainstream.

    He never mentions anything like an iPhone during this clip, just that computers will be "more sophisticated and easier to use" while being more expensive. Basically, he's getting the world ready for Lisa, which was probably already in development at the time.
