A note from a close friend of Fabricatorz:

Great interview with Steve Jobs from back around 1995. A bit long, but an interesting read. I agree with much of what he says. He basically predicted, correctly, I think, that the main beneficiaries of the Web will be companies selling things. And also that no amount of technology can help education.

"The desktop computer industry is dead."

"The Web is not going to change the world, certainly not in the next 10 years. It's going to augment the world."

"The problem is I'm older now, I'm 40 years old, and this stuff doesn't change the world. It really doesn't. I'm sorry, it's true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We're born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It's been happening for a long time. Technology is not changing it much - if at all."

"People are thinking less than they used to. It's primarily because of television. People are reading less and they're certainly thinking less. So, I don't see most people using the Web to get more information. We're already in information overload. No matter how much information the Web can dish out, most people get far more information than they can assimilate anyway."

"I used to think that technology could help education. [...] No amount of technology will make a dent."
