In these five Steve Jobs predictions you can see that he was a genius, that he knew what was going to happen many years from now.
Steve Jobs was always ahead of his time and all the devices that Apple presented during his time as CEO of the company prove it. But Steve was able to see the future on many other occasions, often nearly 30 years in advance. We looked at 5 Steve Jobs predictions that were accurate.
Steve Jobs was already thinking about an iPad in 1983
He The iPad is one of Apple’s most important devices. It should be remembered that the idea of a tablet came to Steve Jobs’ mind before that of an iPhone, even if in the end it was the smartphone that took the upper hand. But taking advantage of everything that has been developed.
However, already In the 1980s, Steve Jobs made it clear that the future was to always have a computer with you. it took little size. This fits perfectly with the iPad, but also with how we use the iPhone today.
It would be great to create a computer the size of a book that you could take anywhere and learn to use in five minutes.
Siri was something Jobs had in mind in 1984
The bone Virtual assistants are available on most electronic devices and Jobs already knew in 1984 that this would be the future. Have someone who anticipates your needs and helps you every day. Something that could soon improve a lot with AI.
The next big challenge is turning computers into “agents” (assistants). In other words, if there was a little person inside a box who could anticipate what you really want, that would be great because the information it would give you would be really practical in your daily life. It would be like having a boyfriend in a box.
Steve Jobs predicted Amazon’s success
In a 1996 interview about the future of the Internet, Steve Jobs saw it all very clearly: e-commerce. Steve saw early on the potential of buying things from home without having to go to a store.
People will stop going to hundreds of stores and buy everything they need on the web.
Steve Jobs already knew that the Internet would allow startups to compete with large companies
Another key point of the Internet is that allowed small businesses to make themselves known and fight against titans. We’ve seen this with many companies, perhaps the latest being OpenAI. A little guy who competes against the big guys thanks to the magic of the Internet.
It’s very exciting because the foundations of our economy will be destroyed, since small businesses will make themselves known in stores just like large multinationals.
Steve Jobs succeeded in the Tesla model
Steve Jobs also did not trust classic concessions and in a way, he anticipated the Tesla model and many current car brands. Jobs didn’t think it made sense to have a stock of cars because it was too expensive and he thought it was better for the customer to design them and have them manufactured and shipped directly.
Dealers make no sense. Owners spend a lot of money on inventory – millions of dollars a year. Having stock is not a good thing because it requires having a lot of cash, which attracts vandalism and over time the merchandise becomes obsolete. Plus, storing all these vehicles isn’t particularly cheap. As if that wasn’t enough, in most cases the car you want isn’t in the color you like with the technology you want, so it has to be manufactured. Wouldn’t it be great if all this inventory disappeared?
All of these stories were compiled by Business Insider and demonstrate The ability of jobs to see the future. Apple opted for many of these predictions, although other Steve Jobs projects remained unfinished, such as the curious VideoPad.
