Steve Jobs on Technology & the Liberal Arts
Jobs said computers should be more than technical tools: they should amplify thought, help people learn directly from ideas and sources, and become a new medium for education. He also argued that computer science belongs with the liberal arts because it teaches how to think, and that the goal is technology that gives people more intellectual freedom, not just more machine power.
“I view computer science as a liberal art.”
“My particular view is that a computer is a new medium”
“I think everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer.”
