The Objects of Our Life: Steve’s talk at the 1983 International Design Conference in Aspen

Best thing I've read all week, for a whole bunch of reasons.

In the talk, Steve predicts that, by 1986, sales of the PC would exceed sales of cars, and that in the following ten years, people would be spending more time with a PC than in a car. These were absurd claims for the early 1980s.

@estherschindler I can respect him for being smart and prescient while still disliking him for being a rotten person, right?

@AskTheDevil Yes, you can.

We all include both light and dark. They rarely are present in equal measures. But they do not cancel each other out. They are an "and."

It took me many years to come to peace with this. Mostly.
