Jobbs is a hippie??

[Bone]

I just watched a program on the history channel called hippies. It talks about jobs being a hippie. It said the most powerfully influence hippies had on the world was technology. Introduced of course by Jobs. Theyalso mentioned Stewart brand as being a huge hippie. Srry I just thought I would mention this as it kinda caught me off guard.

[overbo0st2k4]

Who's Jobbs?

Oh, do you mean Steve Jobs?

[geordisjd]

We were all hippies in those days, or we wanted to be.

[Hondamaker]

There was a show about Jobs and Gates, and yep, Jobs was a hippie, and Gates was always a geek. Now look at 'em!

Here is a quote from Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs

"Jobs then backpacked around India with a Reed College friend (and, later, first Apple employee), Daniel Kottke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Kottke), in search of philosophical enlightenment. He came back with his head shaved and wearing traditional Indian clothing. During this time, Jobs experimented with LSD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD), calling these experiences "one of the two or three most important things he has done in his life."[16] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs#cite_note-WhatTheDormouseSaid-15) He has stated that people around him who did not share his countercultural roots could not understand certain aspects of his thinking.[16] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs#cite_note-WhatTheDormouseSaid-15)

The only reason it sounds weird is because nature & bathing in the river is like the opposite of technology & computers. Too bad, if the hippies would of won we wouldn't be in this B.S. war right now or having all our iPhone calls, sms, email recorded and monitored.

I could easily see Steve Jobs as the hippie type. He is living California after all.

[danipoak]

Jobs being a hippie caught you off guard? Where have you been sir!

[Bone]

well not much of an apple fan before I got my iPhone I didnt know much about the guy.

[misecia]

you should watch Pirates of Silicon Valley to see how much of hippie he was in the early days of Apple.

I'd love to watch that sometime, is it a movie, documentary, what? Where may I find it?

its a made-for-TV movie
there's also a documentary called Triumph of the Nerds

[bmg97]

So the bottom line here is Drugs are not that bad and can lead to being a billionaire ?

[cryptision]

I rather doubt that Steve Jobs was a hippie. It was Steve Wozniak that tried to hang with the hippies. Eventially the hippies rejected Steve Wozniak, because they distrusted him as he would not do drugs with them. I've also heard that it was Wozniak who travel around the world and he had also start a couple of concert (known as the U.S festival) in which he lost over $12 million. It was Wozniak that was the true inventer at Apple. Wozniak was the one who engineered the Apple I and Apple II before going into business with Steve Jobs. Later Wozniak left Apple to start working on a Universal Remote called the CL 9.

If I recall correctly, several of those "hippies" went on to Wall Street to make a living...

[aenti]

Crypt is absolutely right.
I hate it when people start to give ol' Stevie the credit.
Steve Jobs was the marketer. He was good, no doubt, but the real creator of Apple was the Woz. Woz did all the work, Woz was the "seer," and he did it all for fun. He left Apple when he felt it's true purpose was lost.

Everybody born in the 50's became a hippie.

They invented technology, and taught generations X and Y to use it.

Now if only generation Y got off its butt, and found some motivation in life...:angry:

[kdarling]

I'm a little older than Jobs, and was in the heat of things back when microcomputing was just starting.

Jobs doesn't invent anything. But he's good at finding people to invent for him, so he can take credit. He started in that mode while using Wozniak, and has never stopped.

I suppose there's a need for salesman like him. Otherwise, all us hippie geeks would continue to just give stuff away ;-)

[chrismmm]

fuc( Jobs!

[connie]

From the moment I first saw him I knew he was a hippie. They're all hippies at Apple up there in Cupertino.
