Steve Jobs – Walter Isaacson
Steve Jobs the Walter Isaacson discussion group
‘The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do’.
Apple’s “Think Different” commercial, 1997.
I do. I am inspired like an undergraduate and have jotted down two ‘world changing’ ideas in as many moments. To do anything about them I need to make a call – I will!
Meanwhile, I feel in a way that I have done Steve Jobs by, rarely, going out for an hour’s skiing; in my head I was on the drop into the Bellecote bowl, La Plagne or on my favourite stretch of skiing on the planet, ‘Le Plan’ on the Solaise in Val d’Isere, in reality I was on artificial snow at Sno!Zone Milton Keynes.
I’m going to pick through this hardback book (there’s an immediate irony) as if my name were Steve Jobs (had he lived he would have reinvented the ‘printed’ word or cracked the hybridisation of the book. The App?)
From the boom sleeve, does someone have ‘a hundred family’ members?
This would have to mean Isaacson visited Syria at least to interview biological cousins in Homs (he didn’t). having read the book I can’t believe he interviewed more than 16 family members and of these possibly only 6 or so matter.
I asked, as I am doing an OU MBA module ‘Creativity, Innovation and Change’ whether fellow students (we all recently did a Myers Briggs or NEO Five inventory) what Steve Jobs would have come out as.
Someone came back with ENTP.
What do you think?
To pick up the discussion I’ve set up the Linkedin Group ‘Steve Jobs the Walter Isaacson discussion group’
