@Pschiller I love his analogy with magically producing flowers by being really really fast. Thanks for sharing!

@Pschiller ‘Prescient’ comes to mind, but that might not be adequate. We take for granted a world of technolody that was (at least) influenced by this sort of humanism and wholistic approach to design. I shudder to think what computing would have been without Steve and Apple.

@Pschiller I may not love the concept, but the state of the iPad seems to be right where Steve described it 41 years ago.

“We’re trying to get away from programming. We’ve got to get away from programming because people don’t want to program computers. People want to use computers.”

Boy can I use the hell out of my iPad. I can still dream of a programmable future though.

@Pschiller for those of us who were alive at that time and starting to experiment with computers – in my case the TRS 80 starting back in ‘78 – it felt like we were all in on some amazing secret that had just been whispered into our ears alone
