death is very likely the single best invention of life. it s life s change agent. it clears out the old to make way for the new. right now the new is you. steve jobs speaking at stanford university in 2005. this is how the front page of the brilliant website boingboing.net is honoring steve jobs tonight. if you sat down to write at the keyboard of an early macintosh computer as i did many times, this tribute will look forward to you. joining me, jenny of boingboing.net, one of the best intellectual writers on technology i know. thanks for being with us. thank you, rachel. you ve written about steve jobs as an influence on technology. looking at that stanford address and thinking about his career and contributions on the occasion of his death tonight, what do you think he meant to the country broadly?
really just profoundly odd not to see steve jobs up there on stage in his little black turtle neck and his jeans. as there were those years in the late 80s and early 90s when steve jobs worked somewhere else. despite that, when you thought of apple, you thought of steve jobs. we thought of apple a lot. just as much as apple was and still is, it changed the way america consumes media and uses the power of commuting. it all began in 1984 with the company s first big press conference to introduce its macintosh computer. before that in 1976, there was apple 1. 1977, they had considerable success with apple 2. apple 3 didn t go so well in 1980. the big super bowl ad they ran in 1984 and the unveiling of the mac in 1984 was a big deal. and, i mean, if you can forget your ipad for a moment, you can forget how easy our technology is to use now. there was a time when unveiling an apple computer looked so radical, specifically because it looked like something that a human might use.
