    the applause for the eraser at 30:44 almost brought a tear to my eye. the shit we take for granted today.

    Jobs is so eloquent he can make me excited about a 30 year old computer. It feels like this is a fresh, new, exciting machine.

    I actually attended this Boston Computer Society meeting when Jobs and his team introduced the Mac to the East coast. The atmosphere was electric because we all could tell we were witnessing history. It changed my life and pointed me in a career direction that I could not be happier about. Steve Jobs had a profound impact on a lot of people's lives. 🙂

    How incredibly proud he is. Like a father seeing his child doing his first steps.
  • Who's here after reading Steve jobs by Walter Isaacson. How this event was described in the book, I thought Damn I had to see it

    This mans microphone in 1984 was better than most small YouTubers' microphones today.

    Genius move to have the soft-spoken software engineer who designed the paint program actually demonstrate it. The audience is completely smitten, and now all the digital artists are fantasizing about how they will use these new features.

    You don't need a full series of lessons to teach you how to be a good presenter, just watch a few Steve Jobs Video
  • @wicklow4905
    The elegance and charisma of this guy is flawless
  • @mooreel
    I just love how they instantly nailed the paint program in example. That was basically the standard for a decade

    What an incredible time this was: To see the first demonstrations of features that we have taken for granted for years. And to see such a slick presentation by a team that were totally switched on. Fantastic piece of history here.
  • 40 years later, it was still a extremely touching moment watching that video demo on Macintosh. And I'm watching this video on the newest MacBook. How technology has evolved, I mean, I'm now able to train my own GPT on my MacBook.

    30:14 Somehow this makes me happy. These people were witnessing history, ABSOLUTELY GOBSMACKED over features we take for granted like an eraser tool, zooming in, and region cut and paste. Listen to them gasp! It was a stunning thing to experience for the first time as a consumer raised on text interfaces.
  • Interesting to pair this with his iPhone presentation 23 years later. Even though the technologies are universes apart, Jobs manages to convey how revolutionary and exciting each was.
  • @curtcarlson8312
    This is terrific. It is modeled after what Doug Engelbart at SRI did in 1967 when he demonstrated in San Francisco most of the key features Jobs and his team put together for the Mac. Engelbart's presentation is called the "Mother of All Demos." It is on YouTube and it is still astounding after all these years.

    Crazy how their presentations still follow the same format and have the same vibe

    These guys at the end can really see the future it's amazing.
