PBS has recently announced that it will air "one last" Steve Jobs documentary on November 2. The documentary, called "Steve Jobs - One Last Thing," will feature interviews with Apple's third co-founder Ronald Wayne, Walt Mossberg and many others. Furthermore, the documentary will premiere clips from a "never-before-broadcast" 1994 interview with Jobs, in which the former Apple CEO shares his thoughts on life, Apple and everything in between.
As outlined in a press release recently published by PBS:
Featuring interviews with, among others, Ronald Wayne, co-founder of Apple with Jobs and Steve Wozniak; Ross Perot, who invested in NeXT Computer when Jobs was running out of money; Walt Mossberg, principal technology columnist for The Wall Street Journal, who interviewed Jobs every year from 2003-2010; will.i.am, frontman and producer for The Black Eyed Peas, whose “I Gotta Feeling” currently ranks as the most downloaded iTunes song ever; Dean Hovey, designer of the original mouse for Apple; Robert Cringely, writer and host of the PBS series TRIUMPH OF THE NERDS: THE RISE OF ACCIDENTAL EMPIRES; Robert Palladino, calligraphy professor at Reed College, whose classes Jobs credited with inspiring his typography design for the Mac; and Bill Fernandez, who introduced Jobs and Wozniak in Sunnyvale, where the three hung out in his father’s garage and tinkered with electronics.However, the 1994 interview with Jobs is what has us most excited. According to the press release:
In a never-before-broadcast interview from 1994, Jobs expounds on his philosophy of life: “You tend to get told that the world is the way it is, but life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact; and that is that everything around you that you call life was made up by people no smarter than you … Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.”Be sure to tune-in to the documentary next Wednesday, or set your TV box up to record the show. This is definitely not one to miss! You can check your local listings using the PBS website. [via MacRumors]
