Steve Jobs tells us a secret

Watch this video and answer the questions below:

1a. What 'secret' does Jobs disclose? Are you surprised? Why do you think this was secret?
1b. What expression (which we learned in class!) does Jobs use when he says he's going to reveal a secret?
2. What feature of the traditional computer did Jobs want to change? What expression does he use when referring to the keyboard?
3. What did Jobs do with the tablet project when he decided to work on a phone? Why?
4. Who made the first steps towards developing the iphone (apart from Jobs)?
5. How long did he and his team work on the iphone? When did he start working on the tablet?
Discussion Qs
1. Jobs has fetched a lot of praise, much of it posthumously. Do you think he is more worthy of praise than other computer industry entrepreneurs, such as Bill Gates? Why/why not?
2. Have you got a tablet? If so, what brand? Do you think tablets will eventually replace traditional computers with physical keyboards?
