A computer is just a “bicycle for the mind”


During his Lost Interview in 1990 Steve Jobs describes a
computer as a “bicycle for the mind” because it could make a person more efficient and more effective.

This is such a good metaphor but I'm afraid I still operate at a
walking pace. I don’t use the computer everyday. I still read real books and write checks to pay bills. Perhaps there just isn’t enough of that “insanely great stuff” which needs to be sped along.

Perhaps I put up these speed bumps on purpose…something to think about.

It did occur to me so what is I did treat the computer as a “blank,
white canvas” to see what I come up with.

More to follow…
