Steve Jobs interviewed just before returning to Apple

Rare 1996 interview with Steve Jobs on Wall $treet Week with Louis Rukeyser

[@Kobe8No8Means8No]

Steve had exactly 15 years left at the time of this interview. Nobody could have imagined how much he will have accomplished in that 15 years. Amazing.

[@CaptainPlanet007]

“I still think Apple has a future” wow! Time does tell..

[@KeithKman]

This interview is very relevant in Jan 2019. I miss Steve Jobs.

[@SwashBuckl3r]

Too bad that he didn't leave sooner, before Apple brainwashed the world into being complete idiots.

[@rajat1960]

@Jay Talents no he isn’t.

[@SalisburySteak1]

"It took Microsoft 10 years to copy Windows." Love it!

[@MowgliX]

I miss Steve Jobs a whole lot. He was a very dynamic and intelligent leader, and he also improved over time. He had many faults and he was aware of them! What made him great was that he had this awareness and knew how to let other people contribute and shine too.

[@theothertroll]

Nope, you didn't know Jobs at all, you know the bull shit public image ~

[@Tom-bb5kh]

theothertroll accurate name. I doubt you know him better than any of us though

[@marufio]

In order to accomplish so much it was a necessity for jobs. What would you do in his shoes.

[@kurakuson]

What made him great is that he recognizes the genius (vision) of his co-founder Steve Wozniac. Also, what's. Left out of the narrative is how, his supposed rival Bill Gates, contributed to Steve's comeback.

[@alphazar]

Ron Clark Dig in their history and you'll learn that Microsoft owed its success to Apple. Read about Applesoft Z80 Softcard MacBASIC CP/M You'll see why Steve Jobs was a pioneer of personal computers.

[@takeadayofff]

Can't wait for CD-ROMs!

[@thetruereality2]

The developers working at apple today should listen to jobs speak when he talks about stagnation in the innovation.

[@theothertroll]

He was full of shit - Apple Computer at the time was ahead of the market as he was making kids fantasy movies ~

[@gorkyd7912]

Apple's bureaucracy isn't small enough for its developers to innovate. Think about it, you have thousands and thousands of mouths to feed, most of them lawyers and administrators making as much as the actual developers. Now you can come up with pretty cool products all you want but unless they'll make a few billion on the market Apple can't release them; they need mass mass mass market products.

[@joanofarc33]

thetruereality They have no vision.

[@MrPaulFCockburn]

In the next few years, Apple is likely to leap-frog a decade ahead of everyone else when it comes to Augmented Reality. That’s what I call innovation. 😀

Thank you for the great posting

[@rancosteel]

Great video. Thanks for the upload and sharing.

[@justinmechanic17]

Right now I hold my little Ipod nano in my hand. What an amazing device. I'm still blown away at this creation ! When I think back on the days I had to log my big old Walkman cassette and CD player around it makes me laugh. Thank you Steve Jobs for leaving your creative inventions and visions with us all.

[@ethanwashoe5868]

Now you’ll probably read this on you’re iPhone which hold probably 10 times more music and data then that iPod

[@longlivechina7538]

Great video thank you

[@Davy1288]

I feel like there is a void now in the world. I never imagined a world without Steve Jobs. I too am all busted up over this. I never thought I'd be this sad over it but I am. Thank you for everything Steve. You will always be missed.

[@Smellindamix]

Hopefully Elon Musk gave you some hope

[@josephedwardmartinez]

Thanks for sharing! A true leader indeed.

[@abdulazizalmass]

Thanks for leaving the ending there.

[@Honeypottr]

Steve jobs, you've been an inspiration to so many people, including myself but I've never noticed it. When the iPod came out it was something revolutionary and different, also creative. It showed me as a kid how doing something different can be so important. Thinking out side of the box. Thinking different. So now has a senior in high school it's big for me to be creative and thinking different then others. It sticks out. You stuck out to me and you made me the person I am today. Thank you Steve

[@naijainnit]

One of the best interviews of Steve for me personally. He said some things in this video that will help me take my company to the next level.

[@DirectorDC.]

like what?

[@vjanssens399]

​@@DirectorDC.That cd-roms are dynamite.

[@firespinguy]

Steve Wozniak: It was a weird situation. Steve jobs never programmed in his life. He couldn’t design a computer - he was never a designer or a programmer - but he could understand it well enough to understand what was good and what was bad.

[@twelveightyone]

Wow, hard to believe this was 15 years ago, how right he was.

[@flatblackstrat]

I have never been so sad over the death of someone I have never met. RIP Steve. There will never be another like you.

[@JaySomething]

Steve spoke with the exact same calmness and persuasiveness in 1996 as he did the years before he died.

[@sarahlovesfootie]

If he didn’t get fired from apple, Pixar wouldn’t have been invented and toy story wouldn’t have been created .

[@jennamichelle2001]

I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone else comment on how handsome Steve Jobs was. Also, I wish that he’d followed medical advice about his cancer. In that case he’d probably still be here today. May he rest in peace.

[@Cantor214]

Wall $treet Week with Louis Rukeyser was the best stock market show ever.

[@joshmulligan950]

When the interviewer brought up apple instant sadness. Then smirk

[@KennTollens]

This interview shows how Steve has a 6th sense for the future.

[@keenkennyny]

It's amazing how consistent Jobs was through his entire career. He had the same philisophy last year when releasing the iPad to this interview taken decades ago and even before that. He always seemed like he knew which direction to go since the inception of Apple, it only took until the iPod, iPhone, then iPod when everything exploded. It's sad that he's gone.

[@tomp5331]

You guys are great.

[@NLS87]

Kudos, Mr WindowsVideos!

[@jiblazed]

love how the interviewer thinks himself so superior to "computer nerd"

[@ChucksAstrophotography]

This is one year before Steve Jobs returned to Apple and he knows what to do: 1:15

[@SALESPRODUCTIONS]

I used to watch Wall Street week every week. I miss the show - Louis and Steve. All 3 were very good - and very interesting.

[@Billygoatbuff]

It feels like 10 years considering how far its come along.

[@Scrummie1]

Great point about when the internet gets one dominant company innovation goes downhill. Exactly what we've seen happening for the last 10 years with Google. Though the internet has been split up I think in different categories, so you could argue each category has its own dominant player; Facebook with social media (and messaging), Google for search and advertisement, etc. It's been 10 years today since Steve Jobs passed away, and I was thinking about how he actually changed the world and it all comes down to one thought; what if Steve did not return to Apple. The iPod would not have been made, the iPhone would not have been made, the iPad, etc. Without the iPhone I strongly believe social media would not have been such an enormous succes as it has been now with mobile phones. His impact was so incredibly big, it's amazing.

[@CarsMeetsBikes]

I love how it cut to the interviewer on a fake beach set to talk about a Sotheby's auction

[@semn95]

1:45!! "I think apple still has a future." So true, dude it is THE biggest company in world right now and still growing.

[@MrTervic]

R.I.P Steve !! you changed history !! you made our world !! thanks for everything ! genius will always be remembered !

One word to describe Steve Jobs. Brilliant. You changed the electronic world forever. Thanks Steve for your amazing products and your message to people to always do what you love. You will always be an inspiration.

I love this video! This guy founded Apple, got fired from the company he started and in this interview talks about the failure of Apple. Then he cames back and almost everyone in the world has a Apple Product.

[@BobbyRing]

apple are decades ahead now. Thanks to steve Jobs. Seeing as i use my ipod touch everyday, watch movies on my apple tv, use itunes a lot and use my mac a lot too shows hes definitly made a difference in my life.

when you were watching this on TV, could you imagine just decade and a half later you can hold your ipad and look at this on it?

[@TheJamesOutlaw]

This man really did save Apple upon his return to the company. I hope they can still innovate which is what he always believed was important

RIP to both people.

I'm really sad for Steve Jobs, he died yesterday but he still between us in every corner and bag ...his iPhone, iPad, iPod, MacBook what a creative personal

Feels like 10 years, though.

[@kindredvampyre]

1996 interviewer at 0:59 "in recent weeks its been one of the failure stories of wall street and indeed of the american economy. what went wrong at apple?"... wow just goes to show you how the future can always change, anything is possible.... that is a great line "my perception may not be complete"

[@saskiavanhoutert3190]

Well, I like working with Steve's programms, Illustrator is great to design cars with, you start with the wheel-base, just stretch out the triangle of 'the curve the beziere' and make circles with it, the wheels, then design from outside to inside.

[@Esbenerendon]

the ending was epic, beach chair chillin

[@goldensleeves]

3:15 "the most exciting thing in the software area is the internet and part of the reason for that is that NO ONE OWNS IT"... this quote reminds me how things are best used when they are abundant around the world so that we all contribute rather than fight over it. For instance, imagine if we had to fight over air in the same way we have to fight over oil. If we could make EVERYTHING that we need on earth abundant, efficient, and sustainable around the world, we will all thrive peacefully!

Love and Death was a major factor that motivated you so much in doing something what u did! You have change this world! Steve You have put a bing in the universe! Now its time You rock the heaven with the sweet taste of Apple and Pixar! I cam to this world on 5th October and you decided to go to heaven on 5th October! Keep Looking Don't Settle! Thank you So Much Steve! With lots of love! and Will really miss you!

[@epstkn9286]

I love you and miss you

[@ChichiriMuyo]

I think a lot of that comes from the fact that in many ways he only understood it in laymen's terms as well. He was never an engineer or a developer, but instead a leader and spokesman and just the right guy to figure out what the end-user wanted.

[@DaviesxDan]

You cant invent an innovation, you just simply innovate.

[@childeabaddon]

we miss you, Forever.

Check out WWDC 1997 also here on youtube. Steve Jobs spends 10 minutes explaining what iCloud is all about, and it didn't even appear until after he died (fifteen years later).

Can you believe this was just 15 years ago. All he accomplished between then and now....

[@ericcampeau572]

If you check out some earlier Jobs interviews you'll notice its a term he has used for a while.

[@hilariousgas]

I love the tape glitch at 3:17, that's something our kids will never know.

[@2020himanshu]

he is great person

[@Paid_Dr0]

Right on the money! Best comment of the day!

[@rpiruthivi]

This is even more true today for Apple...

[@EmblemKings]

His response to "What went wrong at Apple?" is so crazy to me.. Keeping in mind that this question was asked to him RIGHT before he comes back, invents the iPod, then Apple Stores, iPads, iPhones countless of other incredible modern day technologies.. Its chilling..

[@crickcrot]

Innovation and Steve Jobs we miss you Steve.

[@futuremtt]

"oh gosh". that says it all.

[@muztyballz9974]

Steve was genius at peddling others ideas. Starting in 1999 & by 2005 the Japanese were already using their cell phones for payments, download apps & music, pictures, social networking, & web. Like how we use it in 2013. He went there to study their cell phone culture (Keitai culture), then came back, repackaged it as the Iphone & sold it to the world. Had a Chinese firm done this it be would be labeled copying, but since he was an American it is called creativity & ingenuity.

[@dottmeneghello]

[@nparmenia]

Very smart person, RIP!!!

Steve Jobs has changed all of our lives in one way or another. Apple is Steve Jobs, it just won't be the same without him.

Yes and Scully found that out the hard way. Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy at this time,

[@891Raiden]

[@dustinluke9843]

He saw how the internet would become so important and dominating the future of accessing information. He also foretold how it would fall once a company monopolized it (Google).

[@MrBilly831]

Steve, good job! R.I.P

1:52 "The way out for Apple is not to slash and burn but to innovate". Fuck -that is exactly what he did when he returned to Apple a few months later and turned the company completely around. What a visionary !!! RIP Steve !
