a year has passed since Steve Jobs's
death but his star has hardly faded so
what I'd love to do now is show you the
stuff in fact it's the opposite his
legacy is probably increased because
people now that he's gone reflect on
some of the things that he did and
realize what a genius he was a newly
unearthed speech given by jobs at the
International Design Conference in Aspen
in 1983 offers a glimpse at his uniquely
futuristic vision in it the Apple CEO
describes what sounds like an iPad what

incredibly great computer in a book that
you can carry around with you if you can
learn how to use them 20 more and we
really want to do it with a radio link
what Jobs goes on to say that software
should be sold electronically with
customers getting samples just as radio
stations offer a taste of a record album

need a radio station that may have been
the genesis of the iTunes and App Store
