MacRecon > Videos :: Who is Steve Jobs?

Steve Jobs — one of the biggest names in the technology industry. Now you can get to know him through these videos dated in chronological order. Watch his personality, the way he talks, walks, acts… and how he wears those black turtlenecks!

First, what is a computer to Steve Jobs? There’s an interesting analogy here.

1984: Introduction of the first Macintosh — the computer that made the market turn around.

1984, the ad: His precious commercial, which only aired once during the Super Bowl. Directed by Ridley Scott!

1996: Talking about Microsoft. Observe how he pauses for a moment as he thinks what to say next — perhaps he’s cleaning his language for TV?

1997: His return to Apple. A glorious moment for all Mac fans — after all, he saved the company.

1998: Introduction of the original iMac, the computer that saved Apple — and created many clones in the industry!

1999: Steve Jobs coaching the actor that played him in “Pirates of the Silicon Valley”. The final remark from the actor will make some of you remember one of the worst aspects of Steve Jobs — that is, if you saw the movie.

2001: The introduction of the iPod — the product by which today’s kids know Apple.

2005: His speech to Stanford University — insanely great for someone who dropped out. Everything worked out for him, didn’t it?

2006: He addresses the Cupertino City Council about their new campus — in the same style he addresses his keynotes!

Today: Steve Jobs on Nightline, after the big iPhone announcement. They’re calling him the Babe Ruth of the industry.

Comedy: Some of the best Steve Jobs parodies that aired on Saturday Night Live and G4TV.

And there you have it. But wait! We’ve only scratched the surface of who he is. If you’d like to know more of him, it’s recommended that you watch Pirates of the Silicon Valley, which is pretty accurate (and good, too!).
