So I guess. .. I think the web, if we look back 10 years from now, the web is going to be a defining technology, a defining social. .. a defining social moment for computing.
And I think it's going to be huge, I think it breathed a whole new generation of life into personal computing, and I think it's going to be huge. Yeah.
And you are making software that. .. -Oh, absolutely, but so is everybody, I mean just forget about what we are doing, as an industry, the web is gonna open a whole new door to this industry. Yeah. I's another one of those things that it's obvious once it happens, but 5 years ago, who would have guessed?
Right. That's right.
Isn't this a wonderful place we live in.
I was keen to know about Steve's passion, what drove him?
I read an article when I was very young, in the Scientific American.
And... it measures the fficiency of locomotion for various secies on the planet.
So for, you know, bear, Chimpanzee, raccoons and birds, and fish, how many calories per kilometer they spend to move, and. . . humans was measured too, and the condor won, it was the most fficient.
And the. . . mankind, the crown of creation, came in with rather unimpressive showing about 3rd way down the list.
Uh, but somebody there had the billiance to test a human riding a bicycle, blew away the condor, all the way off the charts.
And I remember this really had an impact on me.
I... really remember this. . . humans were tool builders, and we build tools that can dramatically amplify our innate human abilities.
