"uotes :
Education is the most important investment Ior
the Iuture
Technology is going to be a critical element oI
the classroom experiencing, having a machine,
that students can get on and work with, and
having the teachers, and the curriculum, and
all the elements that connect up to that.
We measure ourselves by creating success Ior
our partners. iI we can grow them, that's a key
Iactor in growing our own opportunity.
iII's Thoughts :
I'm oIten asked, is the technology revolution
going to reach an end, the improvement in the
chips and the soItware will that start to slow
down as we reach some limit? And the answer
is, certainly in the decades ahead, we don't see
any limits.
I think the Iramework oI competitiveness is a
Iantastic one, because aIter all, the world as a
whole is becoming more competitive. And this
is an opportunity where everyone can beneIit.
As you move down to a
younger age, it's muc
more te social
framework tat te
teacer creates, te
motivation around
tat teacer tat
makes a big difference.

W Jobs soId over $20 miIIion - AppIe stock,
W $pent days bicycIing aIong the beach,

W Jobs recoIIect his experience at AppIe.
W Wrote down the things that were important
to him.
W AIong with the deveIopment of the

projects he had Iaunched:
1. Kids Can't Wait,
2. AppIe Education oundation,
3. AppIe University Consortium.
W Jobs said, "Our primary mission is to
estabIish Next$tep as a Ieading operating
system in the Nineties." Now, Jobs invisions
Next$tep wiII revoIutionize the computer
industry by its operating system software
which incorporates a hot technoIogy. It's
caIIed object-oriented programming (OO!,
and OO! Iets programmers write software in
a fraction of the usuaI time.
Jobs saying :
W Inspiration came - eginning of $eptember
1985 when he had Iunch with
W !auI erg - a NobeI Iaureate in biochemistry
at $tandford University.

got to do something. I'm thirty years oId."
offering to resign as chairman.
W "In my 20 years in the industry, I have
never seen a revoIution as profound as
this. You can buiId software IiteraIIy
five to ten times faster, and that
software is more reIiabIe, easier to
maintain, and more powerfuI," says
Jobs.
W Next$tep squeezed its way into
the fieId of being a good
pIatform for companies to buiId
object oriented programming
W Jobs beIieves icrosoft has not
transformed itseIf into an agent for
improving things or a company that
wiII Iead the next revoIution in
software deveIopment.
W Jobs has become very concerned because
he sees icrosoft competing very fierceIy to
put a Iot of companies out of business.
W This is hurting innovation in the computer
industry. Jobs feeIs the computer industry
needs an aIternative to icrosoft's software
in computer systems.
