This exclusive interview of Jobs is from 1994, but was not shared publicly until
recently. In the interview, Jobs focuses on the topic of his legacy and how people
will remember him. I think this video is perfect for the project topic. Its Steve
Jobs himself explaining how his legacy will live on and thats a special thing. I
can put together my interpretation of his legacy as of the present and day and
compare it to how he imagined his legacy would live on even back in 1994.

This interview with Steve Jobs focuses more on the technology aspect and what
Jobs was thinking when he created his huge advancements in technology. The
interviewer and Jobs discuss the background of the Apple products and how his
technology is getting more and more innovative. They also talk about Bill Gates,
which was one of Jobs biggest rivals in the industry. I thought that was kind of
interesting to be able to see what his view on the Microsoft computers was
compared to his own brand of technology.
