PDC 1996 Keynote with Bob Muglia and Steve Jobs [video]
Without going back in time, one has the impression that people didn’t “see” a particular technology coming. You’ll hear people claim that a particular CEO didn’t see the web, or mobile, or VoIP and other technologies rising.<p>But when you go back and read their work or view their videos — like this one — it’s remarkable how clear and detailed their vision is of how things will be.<p>Jobs is famous for this so you might think it’s a cherry picked example but I think it’s largely true (no doubt you’ll find an exception) of almost any big time tech executive. They have a clear, detailed, largely accurate view of how things will turn out.
