Steve Jobs in a 1983 speech talking about design.

It’s a 2-minute summary of his speech’s key soundbites.

Paraphrasing a line from Steve’s speech, “The 1980’s are a first date between humans and computers.”

Afterwards, have fun, .think .differently and lean into discomfort.

Bonus: The full 55-minute version of Steve’s 1983 speech is here.
