"In my perspective … science and computer science is a liberal art, it’s something everyone should know how to use, at least, and harness in their life. It’s not something that should be relegated to 5 percent of the population over in the corner. It’s something that everybody should be exposed to and everyone should have mastery of to some extent, and that’s how we viewed computation and these computation devices."

— In 1996, Steve Jobs spoke to Terry Gross. You can listen to the full conversation here. (via nprfreshair)

1984: My date with Steve Jobs | by Nancy Butkus

Then, he asked me back to his room (a penthouse suite at the Helmsley  Palace) where he knelt down before a boxy computer and led me through  it.
He went on and on about it and I had no idea what he was  talking about, completely mystified by his ardor and actually, a little  miffed by his ignoring me for this box.

I met Steve Jobs while I worked at Gizmodo. He was always a gentleman. Steve liked me and he liked Gizmodo. And I liked him back. Some of my friends who I used to work with at Gizmodo refer to those days as the Good Old Days. That is because those were the days before it all went to shit. That was before we got the iPhone 4 prototype.

Beautiful sad and full of regret.
