This video is Steve Jobs describing his own legacy with an analogy to sedimentary rocks
on a mountain. His perception on the type of legacy he will leave is different from the
what the artists and architects from the Renaissance have left us to admire, because his art
is in a different medium, digital. This is helpful for my research because it is Steve Jobs
himself explaining what he thinks he will leave behind.

[Documentary]. USA: Pioneer Productions.
This documentary acknowledges the struggles and accomplishments Steve Jobs had to
overcome, and had achieved while with and without Apple company. This documentary
profoundly aided my research, as it had several interviews with Steve Jobss co-workers,
giving me an idea of what he was like as a boss or a friend.
(F. Virella, personal communication, December 4, 2014).
My interview with Francisco Virella talked over what he experienced, and what his
opinions were regarding Steve Jobss legacy and what impact he has made in the society
as a whole and to an individual, like himself. After the interview, it helped me perceive
what Steve Jobss work means to people and what exactly he did to technology that
others did not before him- he humanized technology.

The interview mainly summarizes all the achievements the Apple Company had in the
last three decades. The first Apple (personal computer) was the result of the works of
Steve Jobs and Stephen Wozniak. And this would later bloom to Apple II, which was the
gateway for the Apple company to become multi-million dollar company. I used this
interview to get Steve Jobss opinion on his own successes so far, which is in 1994.

The Lost Interview consists of raw videos of Steve Jobs as he tried to explain what he

perception.

In this interview with Steve Jobs, he talks about why companies such as Pepsi and Xerox
struggle to be innovative. He claims that the problem is that the company is being run by
the marketing people, and the product itself became dull and constant. This interview
helped me with my research in that Steve Jobs himself discusses how he thinks a
company should be run.
