Classic quotes from Steve Jobs: predictions about the future are from Dow Jones)

Future Prediction
My connection with Apple will never be broken. I hope that in my own life, my personal life may be intertwined with Apple's development process, just like a brocade. Maybe I will not be in Apple for a few years, but I will definitely be back. (Playboy, February 1, 1985)

In the future, the strongest motivation for most buyers to use a computer will be to connect the computer to the All-American communication network. We are at the very beginning of a truly extraordinary breakthrough, which is the case for most people and has the same significance as the phone call. (Playboy, February 1, 1985)

The desktop computer industry has come to an end and there is basically no innovation. Microsoft occupies a dominant position and almost cannot see innovation. The game is over and Apple loses. The desktop computer market has entered a dark stage, and the rest of 1990s in the next 10 years or at least will be black.
Now it is like before the advent of microprocessor, IBM has rejected many innovations beyond the computer industry. In the end, Microsoft will go to the end with pride and complacency, and some new things may emerge. But before that, the industry was finished before there was a fundamental technological change. (Wired Magazine (wired), February 1996)

The term "desktop computer" was invented because it is an independent device, and because you need to manage what you store. Storage is very important in the desktop computer industry, but it may gradually disappear. In the future, you may not have to manage your own storage content. You may not have to store many things in a short time. (Wired Magazine (wired), February 1996)
