A Bicycle for Our Minds
“What a computer is to me is it’s the most remarkable tool that we’ve ever come up with, and it’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.” – Steve Jobs
The world told you yesterday many times over that Steve Jobs has resigned his role as CEO of Apple. I couldn’t tell you anything about his legacy that hasn’t been already said, but I remember reading this quote many years ago and it has stuck with me. At first I took it as a clever phrase about how great technology is, but it’s really about an approach to your work.
When I think of what to achieve when creating something, this is my compass. I work to make bicycles for our minds.
