„Rolling Stone: Nevertheless, you’ve often talked about how technology can empower people, how it can change their lives. Do you still have as much faith in technology today as you did when you started out 20 years ago?Jobs: Oh, sure. It’s not a faith in technology. It’s faith in people.Rolling Stone: Explain that.Jobs: Technology is nothing. What’s important is that you have a faith in people, that they’re basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they’ll do wonderful things with them.
