steve jobs commencement speech at stanford univ 2005.

also Whole Earth Catalog farewell words

  • Yes, those were the last words of Steve Jobs' commencement speech which I quoted above, and he said he quoted it from the Whole Earth Catalog, which he mentioned just prior, in the talk. He had read one of the original editions, since he grew up in that area in those days.

    And the video of Steve's talk was shared with me soon after it happened, by an older relative, who, ironically, was a top exec at a very large company, which was kind of the antithesis of what Steve was advocating that day.
