This talk sounds basically like him explaining to everybody in detail how awesome his achievements are.
EDIT: The best point is where he explains with charts that 80% of people are basically sheeple...
- cliveowen 13y agoAt first glance it might come off as hubris, but it's actually just a way of separating what we now know as technology (consumer technology) which is mostly just incremental from the other kind of technology which is innovative and profoundly transformative. When he talks about the research that went on at the Parc back in the 70s it's not to show his accomplishments but to show the difference between commercial products addressed to the masses and touted as technological breakthroughs and real breakthroughs that happen way before the mass production and slowly make their way into society and bring about enormous changes and wealth.
