Iata-l pe omul care l-a invatat pe Steve Jobs sa gandeasca diferit

Stewart Brand este un nume prea putin cunoscut majoritatii oamenilor de pe glob, insa el a fost unul dintre cei care a contribuit la formarea mentalitatii in baza careia Steve Jobs a avut curajul de a schimba lumea prin fondarea companiei Apple.

Stewart Brand avea o publicatie in San Francisco in perioada in care care Steve Jobs era mai mult preocupat de consumarea drogului LSD si plimbarile prin natura, textele publicate de catre acesta contribuind serios la schimbarea modului in care Steve Jobs privea lumea.

In celebrul discurs sustinut in fata studentilor Stanford in anul 2005, Steve Jobs compara publicatia lui Stewart Brand cu o versiune scrisa a companiei Google, tinand sa puna accent le mentalitatea Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.

Practic Steve Jobs a fost serios influentat de ceea ce a scris Stewart Brand de-a lungul tineretii sale si acest lucru a determinat modul in care unele produse Apple au ajuns pe piata, dar in final si modul in care lumea a evoluat multumita schimbarilor aduse de catre Steve Jobs.
