An interesting article has emerged on Twitter which brings an interview of Steve Jobs done by Play Boy magazine.

“When I came back from India, I asked myself, ‘What is the most important thing that caught my eye?’ And I think it’s that Western rational thinking is not an innate human characteristic, it’s a learned skill.
It never occurred to me that if no one taught us to think that way, we wouldn’t think that way. And yet, it is so.”
But Jobs’ words took on more significance when he openly said that computers would impact the thinking of future generations if it was not working properly.
“What we’re seeing is that computers are really going to affect the quality of thinking because more and more of our kids have these tools. Humans are tool users.”
This would happen due to the scope of information and the interpretation of various topics by computers. By being accessible to users, they would stop interpreting and learning in their own way while computers would facilitate perception of principles.
After the interviewer asked about this particular idea, Jobs delved a little deeper. connect your words to computing Well, he gave an example of a video game.
“This is a very crude example. The original video game, Pong, captured the principles of gravity, angular momentum, etc., in that every game obeyed those underlying principles, and yet every game was different. That’s the simplest example. And what computer programming can do is capture the underlying principles, the essence, and then facilitate thousands of experiences based on that perception of the principles.” says Jobs in the interview.
To finish, Jobs is committed to positively developing tools that capture information to improve the quality of user experience and thoughts. With that, the interviewer asks Jobs if he might be the man responsible for making this happen, to which Jobs replied “It’s for someone else. It’s for the next generation.”
