From the best-selling biographer of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin comes the authorized story of Steve Jobs, one of the most celebrated global business figures in history. Award-winning author and journalist Walter Isaacson enjoyed unprecedented access to Jobs and conducted more than 40 personal interviews with him over two years. In addition, he talked to more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues. The result is a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and intense personality of a creator, entrepreneur and executive whose fierce drive and passion for perfection revolutionized personal computers, animated movies, music, mobile phones, tablet computing digital publishing and "apps."
We are proud to welcome Isaacson for a conversation about Jobs' life, inspiration and legacy with Museum CEO John Hollar. - Věda a technologie
now i see why Walter Isaacson is a great biographer. he is a great story teller, makes any story sound so simple and familier.
Got the book last night and found this video this morning. I'm 48 years old, and probably in 1985 was my first computer class in college, and I was able to work on the Macintosh. I loved it back then, but I've never bought an Apple computer. My first experience with an Apple products was an iphone 4 and my new ipad mini just bought in the last 2 years. . . and I must say . . . I LOVE them. The mystery and awe of owning an Apple product is still there - I even love the box they came in!! I just wish now that I would have owned more Apple products and would have been a follower all these years, instead of not having them. But I'm an Apple enthusiast now!!
Not only did the first iMac look very different and interesting but it had the best sound system of any out of the box computer then. Came with a copy of Toy Story to show the computer's capabilities.
OMGosh! This is a great interview! Thank you so much for making this public!

Great host. Great speaker. Most importantly, great content about a great person! Five start!
Thanks for sharing this video - it's a great resource! Brilliant!
One of the best biographies!
In 2003/04, I had a cell phone and a PDA. I believe the phone was a Motorola StarTac and the PDA was an HP/Compaq iPaq. I was constantly carrying these devices back and forth from home and my office thinking ... “Why aren’t these 2 devices the same gadget?!?” It was obvious that they should be the same gadget. In the 1970s, lots of hobbyists were building home / personal computers from kits like the Altair 8800. It was obvious then that personal computers would probably sell like hotcakes if you didn’t have to solder them together and program them by flipping switches on the front panel. I remember someone mentioning around 2000-2002 that Adobe was working on electronic paper (i.e. the idea of the iPad); and thinking, how will that be even remotely possible? Yet, a decade later the iPad is introduced to the market by Apple. Sometimes, the next step is painfully obvious and all you need is the courage/audacity to be bold enough to take it.
Excellent interview. Thank you for uploading!
I hereby speak Steve Jobs back into life again
He didn’t design anything actually if you look at the facts
i hereby, speak some from Palestine to make plastic into accessibility for kids to see the shortcoming of adults at anytime within these kids day🥲
Great interview on both sides (john and walter)
As anyone who is summing up a decade of computing development - you can star-trek nerd nitpick someone to death. The only one that I wish more historians noticed was the Xerox PARC meeting with Apple wasn't a mere 'visit' - it was a conditional for a major block of stock from Apple prior to going public. PARC essentially granted a license for a foundation share buy-in. The ROI for Xerox was 10X (at 9 figures on a 8 figure buy) so it wasn't a bad deal overall since Star flopped. (it could also be noted that if they hadn't sold early Xerox could have made several billion on the shares)
The journalist Walter Isaacson mis-wrote that Apple-II was made by Steve Jobs in 1977.
Please correct it. The real fact is that Steve Wozniak developed Apple -II.
Steve Jobs was a sales manager. This fact triggered him to make Macintosh in 1984.
31:55 - So... in other words you're saying that Aaron Sorkin's script simplified and embellished certain things for dramatic purposes? 🤔
The Next machine may have been a market failure, but its the very computer, that Tim Berners Lee, used to start the internet..
I'd never heard this before. Thanks!
This book is VERY thick, 650+ pages. It took me an interval of 3 months, speed reading, to finish it. First, if it’s not obvious yet, I admire Steven Paul Jobs a.k.a. Steve Jobs very much. First thing first, this book will shatter all your prejudices about the man-the legend-Steve Jobs. Walter Isaacson does a phenomenal job chronicling the life of Steve Jobs as told by Jobs and those that knew him best (“My mentor always told me, write biography chronologically,” said Isaacson repeatedly throughout his interviews). Throughout this book, I learned the man himself.

Speed reading? You realize reading 650 pages over 3 months is only 7.2 pages a day.
@@BadMannerKorea you're right! Oh my... I meant to say an interval of 3 months 😅
The hallmark of a brilliant IJTJ, he doesn't tell the truth so much as "tell you what he needs to in order to get you to believe his truth."
It's entirely genuine, but still incredibly manipulative... he's telling you what to do, but he's so charming you hardly notice: amazing to watch. :D
INTJ although I think ENTJ but bear in mind most of us will probably wonder rather than know.
What will remain after our life? This was Steve Jobs' last question!
I am always amazed by what Mona Simpson said about Steve in his dying moments. When she arrived, she found him surrounded by his family. He began to deteriorate. "His breathing changed. It became severe, deliberate, purposeful." He began to slip away. "His breath indicated an arduous journey, a steep path, altitude. He seemed to be climbing." His final words were monosyllables, repeated three times. He looked at his sister Patty, then for a long time at his children, then at his life's partner, Laurene, and then over their shoulders past them. "Steve's final words were: 'Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.'"
58:25 Obviously Steve said take the million come to me next year. :)
No one left behind. Locks brooches bridges waters dizzyness
Love this video and love Steve_Jobs ❤
People decide how they feel about others based on looks alone so of course the cover is the important part for Jobs because since when could he not deal with what people say about him.
Mr Steve Jobs wanted people to have user friendly computers, cellphones and great teams to produce these things at a affordable price.
Revolutionairy.
Stress, depression and anxiety do have a great deal to do with cancer
i agree
This is awesome, bought the book, love Apple and Steve Jobs inspires me.
Yes, but Kalle72, life is more than money. 9 billion dollars isn't everything in life, I think linastellab made a good point - it was somewhat wasted in the area that linastellab mentioned.
Why did he have a prefix i for all his products
1:13:18 "Larry, you don't need anymore money."
It's weird I'm seeing this on the day I read the news that Larry Ellison 'willingly' took a pay cut.
Steve's still influencing us... :)
What pay cut bro?
@@alainportant6412 It's 7 years ago, I can't remember what I meant. Maybe you can Google it (unless you were being sarcastic).
Let's be clear, Jobs closed end system is a failure in computers. Apple II was so successful because you can add so much functionality through 8 expansion slots without which, music and animation production would not be possible. The original mac wasn't that useful because it was closed and not expandable and Mac II was more successful because it allowed expansion and I used it for scientific purposes with that. The new iMacs are still small in market share, and they are only more successful because OS X is basically Unix and therefore you can run all open source software on it, otherwise it would have half of the market share it does. Even more, the iPhone would not have been this runaway success if they didn't allow the app store and 4ed party apps to come in, as beautiful as gadget it was it would just have been a nice toy without the app store. So in the end, Steve Jobs did change to allow expansion and openness, without which, he would have just been a failure.
Steve Wozniak developed the Apple 1 and 2 alone.
Jobs is a Business men.
Their work relationship has a lot of similarities with Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks early Disney studio days. Ub did all the work, never got the real credit, Walt was the temperamental business visionary.

The real reason Jobs killed Flash.
In Steve Jobs own words, he says he invented the ipad before the iphone. So, this autobiographer is getting his facts mixed up, but very compelling to listen to.
Jobs didn’t design anything actually
@@RR-et6zp He conceptualized the ipad
@@WarrenSkaley some glass combined with better electrical components, oh so hard to do ..
@@RR-et6zp to ur point, reducing his vision of a multitouch screen that u could type on seems elementary now, but was unheard of then.
Those early imacs were lousy computers that were very under-powered.

It is spelled "wasted". Anyways... His widowed wife is now good for 9 billion dollars. His family would be able to live for those money for generations and generations and generations alone. That doesn't really sound like a wasted life to me.

Wait did he really say I don’t think you get cancer from stress? Wrong! You definitely can sir. What a shitty thing to say
Einstein did get help. Differential geometry was invented by Riemann.
Great. So the inventors of programming, transistors, and IC's don't receive any attention. But here comes a guy who complains that the "circuit board isn't pretty enough" and everyone applauds, and each individual says, "I want to be like that man, he's my role model."
smh.
Designing transistors is not genius. And the guys responsible for creations are scientists and mathmatician
If you read the book you would know that just inventing something with potential isn't enough. Woz invented the personal computer. Steve Jobs saw the potential and executed it to start a revolution, something shy Woz could have never done.
Jimmy G He actually did participate in arranging things on motherboards on many different projects, even as recently as when he was at NeXT.
PS: If he farted in your face, then yes I would.
Jimmy G Building the world's most valuable company and kick-starting a worldwide revolution in a garage is pretty special to me.
Sounds like someone is jealous.
is that presidents choice bottled water? Im so thirsty.
What no one half ur age to "train" you? Poverty rocks!
Raw garlic every day
sure Steve Paul Jobs was not a nice perfect man but nobody on this earth is a nice perfect man all the time all day everyday long it is because when your famous you have to be perfect all the time when your not famous nobody gives a fuck what u do and that is true %100 percent
Choppatupa tippetipps eurojack pot
The only reason FLASH doesn't work on iPad etc. because its SHIT (read Steve's open letter to Adobe) And he told them to fix it and he will use it but they never did.. First time I don't agree with Walter :)
Buy chop
Isaacson's book is a complete rip-off of iCon, a Jobs biography which preceded it. Read 'em both and you'll clearly see that not only does Isaacson offer nothing new (besides a scant few quotes), it's almost a carbon copy of iCon. It's a shame because he could have offered something quite different.

Walter bio of Franklin was first rate screenwriter's research. The Jobs bio was an even greater read but also tends to slip into a personality development for a Hollywood script. Thats what happens when historians like Walter and also Ron Chernow and John Meacham stop being historians and become screenwriter's. There better storytellers than most a academic historians but there really not historians as traditionally defined. Walter is essentially entertaining at a cocktail party in this discussion- and he's great -lots of laughs. The Yale or Harvard tenured Professor with a lifetime of research on one subject would bore this audience. But who is the true historian?
Jobs wasn't wrong. The kindle while initially successful, didn't stand the test of time. It's losing out to, ironically, paperbacks!

I love the author I just hate that guy he is so rude !! Dislike
The book is great but this guy sucks at storytelling
I disagree. I think he's a great storyteller
Focus to get an impact to the world, do not put your energy to say that thing, if you don't like it then do the things and here the things you like..
