At that time, computers were mostly used primarily by companies, schools, and public agencies. Only a few large business executives accept to install computers to be able to work at home when necessary.

According to statistics from the US Census Bureau, even in the United States - the world leader in developing and applying technology to everyday life - only about 8% of households own computer at home. While by 2015, this number has increased to 79%.

And just as Steve Jobs predicted, computers are now an indispensable daily entertainment source for millions of people, whether watching movies and TV, playing games or texting, chatting with friends.

Also in that interview, the Apple boss gave the most convincing explanation to the question of why in the future, people would have to have a computer page right in their living space, that is "to connect with an extremely large media cyberspace on a national, even multinational scale. "

When Jobs introduced his computer mouse, he surprised the world by performing all of the above commands through the mouse in an intuitive, simple, and extremely fast way. At the same time, Jobs believed that using the mouse was easy, even for those with little computer training, and his belief was completely accurate.

35 years later, computer mice still play a role, important in this work of many people, but are gradually being replaced by new advances in touch screen technology, by Apple itself and many other technology companies developed and popularized, accompanied by the explosion of mobile devices. In the near future, it is very likely that Apple's popularity of touch screen technology via iPhone and iPad will one day put an end to the computer mouse.

Big companies that don't pay attention to this change will be left behind and lose their market. '

Jobs's prediction was fulfilled in America. While Walmart's largest retail chain stores are still closing in, leading e-commerce businesses such as Amazon, eBay, BestBuy have gradually become tycoons in the shopping world. , collecting billions of dollars in sales over the Internet, and still expanding the scale every day.

This is probably one of Steve Jobs's most astonishing predictions, involving young people's access to the emerging technology market - an area that is traditionally reserved only for adults. city.

In an interview with Newsweek's Access, he explained that in the future, it is very likely that children will be exposed and use technology right from the age of 10 and this will somehow negatively affect Physical development as well as perfecting personality for children, especially when they are too fond of technological devices that ignore learning and entertainment by rewarding physical activities.

And Steve Jobs's judgment is absolutely correct, a study by Influence Central reported that at present, the average age that a US child owns their first phone is 10.3 years old.

1. Read the "11 rules of success" of a former Apple employee who learned the first day of work!

As mentioned, Steve Jobs is also human and therefore, despite owning a mindset beyond the age, he does not always make 100% accurate predictions.

In an interview with Playboy in 1983, Jobs said that new software was the area that received the most innovation, not hardware. Meanwhile, Apple's biggest rival in PC manufacturing is IBM. Jobs said: "Most new, creative companies are focusing heavily on software innovation. I think there will be many innovations going on in the software sector, not hardware."

But in fact, it is the new software that is less competitive than hardware. For decades, Microsoft has always been a leader in desktop software, leading to a 'choking' grip on lesser-known businesses in this area, to the extent that the US government must investigate an investigation of monopoly behavior and unfair competition with Microsoft.

Today, the battle on the piece of software called 'easier', but generally still dominated by 3 big names: Microsoft, Apple and Google. While the hardware war is much more dramatic, with big names like Samsung, Dell, HP, Acer, Lenovo, Huawei, Asus, and many other manufacturers. This is one of Steve Jobs's false predictions.

This is a rather contradictory prediction of Apple founder. After all the achievements Jobs has achieved, it seems that he underestimated the overall impact of the web on human life. Or, it could be that the CEO is just being humble when he interviews with Wired in 1996.

"The web will be very important. But is this the event that changes the lives of millions of people? I'm afraid not, perhaps. I am not sure about that but perhaps in the near future, a The comprehensive change that the web creates for human life will hardly happen. '

And the result is as we know it. The web has crept into every breath, the aspect of global life. How many of us do not have access to the internet every day to serve our commercial needs, social interaction, entertainment, knowledge and news? Probably not much. And Steve Jobs was once again wrong.

These are prophecies that have become the truth of Steve Jobs' false predictions about every aspect of the technology world. Thereby, we can better understand the profound thinking as well as the vision beyond his era - one of the genius technology engineers, who have invaluable contributions to the development of full science and technology. demand, as well as contribute to bringing mankind a better life!
