Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs, an information technology entrepreneur and inventor, was interviewed in 1996 by Wired's website. In this interview he predicted the world's future and here is what he saw in his visions:

1- A world where the web will be found everywhere, in other words, mobile-first world.

2- E-commerce was going to skyrock "about two years away" he said.At that time Amazon was starting up but about 20 years later, In 2015 Amazon did 105 billion in net sales according to Business Insider. 

3- The internet would allow us to have a direct to customer distribution channel, making commerce faster and cheaper.

4- Companies have to adapt and evolve to the new world otherwise they will face the consequences. 

5- The web was going to get more complex in very simple forms. Tracking a delivery?

6- Jobs also predicted a way to sell vehicles. He thought that having too much car inventory was expensive and ineffective. Dealers should have one car in display and a catalog. 

7- Desktop market are from the last decade. New technology leads to more compact and fast processors.

8- Storage should be stored in the air. Jobs stored everything on his email.
