Keen On Walter Isaacson: Assessing Steve Jobs Historic Influence

stevejobsAt the beginning of his rich and very fair biography of Steve Jobs, Walter Isaacson notes that Steve himself "found the endeavor of assessing historic influence fascinating." So when Isaacson came into the San Francisco TechCrunchTV studio earlier this week, I asked him for his personal assessment of Steve Jobs' historic influence. Including Jobs in a pantheon of business icons such as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Walt Disney, his major contribution to history, Isaacson told me, lay in his ability to combine great artistry and great technology. But Jobs not only made history, Isaacson explained, he was also a reflection of it, channeling the Zen-like values of the counterculture into his products.
