You had those scary, you know, I just think that the idea of replacing who was there in terms of thinking innovatively, like Steve Jobs and the other Steve, whoever his name was, I actually read this this morning.
It was started by two Steves in a garage in San Francisco.
I was like, God, they're such visionaries to have even thought about technology 50 years ago.
But I also think, like, I was then looking, okay, in 50 years, like, what have they done and what have been, like, you know, the all-time hits and what have been the absolute disasters?
Because you also think of Apple and you think, oh, banger after banger after banger.
But they've actually released a lot of shit products too.
But that's a good example because that came out in 1998.
So we were babies.
But then before that, I don't remember this, but Apple Lisa, do you know anything about that?
It was a massive, huge, hideous computer that cost like $10,000 and it flopped because it was too expensive.
But I think my main takeaway when I was looking at this, I was like, okay, the Macintosh, huge.
iPod, I mean, game changer for listening to music.
The iPhone, I mean, the most outrageously successful products in terms of
millions of them sold like every second you know but i think it's more just interesting to think about the fact that like yes while all of those things ipad apple watch airpods all of them have been totally game changer to the way that we all consume and engage with the world yeah they also had blowouts in terms of i mean i didn't i honestly there was quite a few products i looked at where i was like i don't didn't even know they brought that out
But maybe this new era of a new CEO, it's like we'll look in 30 years time and there'll be things that really hit and there'll be things that really didn't.
But yeah, like we're at the start, like AI is just starting.
So it's like, you know, maybe phones won't even be a thing.
Maybe Apple will have like, you know, AI, we'll just talk to AI in our ears, tell her what to do.
