Steve Jobs

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Neil Anderson, Saturday, 8 Oct 2011, 11:57

I'm sorry that he's dead, my first computer was a mac and I still retain a fondness for the things, but, "a man who changed the world"?

He didn't invent anything, he was a great capitalist, but we have lots of those don't we?

Couldn't agree with you more!

But, my daughter showed me a Jack Wills catalogue and said she wanted a particular skirt for her birthday. Well the image was quite small, and what happened next was very weird...I went to put my thumb and finger on the image to enlarge/stretch it! All because I have had an iPad for 12 months and thats what you do with images. This is a leap. If a 41 year old woman can have an action like thumb/finger enlarging added to an automatic generalisable repertoire of behaviours, how might this style of interactive technology affect the two year olds brains who start playing with iPads , (or other tablets).... And what will this generation design?? Ps, I am not hero worshipping Mr Jobs. Just saying his technology was a leap.
