technological tidal wave. so you ve just bought your first personal computer, you brought it home from the store, you re unpacking it, and then comes the moment of truth. if you ve just got your first personal computer, this show is for you. computers were, in 1990, a disconnected device. it was a brick, right, inside your house, that let you do amazing things that you d never been able to do before, but it was, essentially, a productivity tool. now that we have all these very powerful tools, we are still islands, and we are still not really connecting these people using these powerful tools together. apple was in a period of decline. steve jobs quit in kind of a temper tantrum in 1985, and he went off and started a company called next. after he left, there was a sequence of pretty boring, unimaginative corporate leadership that followed him. so why did you leave apple? well, why did i leave apple? well, i was asked to leave. yeah, i was asked to leave apple
on new year s eve, 1999, i was prepared for the world to shut down. for a growing number of people, the year 2000 is not a milestone, as much as it is a sign of some sort of impending chaos. at home, i got lots of water, generator, flashlights, batteries, canned foods. so what do you think is going to happen? i think there s going to be riots. get ready, one of the books, computer failures will shut down electric utilities, prison gates will swing open at midnight, terrorist attacks will occur in larger cities, and wild dog packs will roam the streets. and many of these books recommends the filing weapons as a precaution. i just wanted to be prepared in case, you know, anything happens for that can scale across all your clouds. we got that right? yeah, we got that. it s easier to be an innovator.
