From the 60 Minutes Archive: Steve Jobs

On the 45th anniversary of the founding of Apple, a look back at the 2011 profile of Steve Jobs, which aired just weeks after his death.

"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

steve’s second act at apple is the greatest CEO achievement ever. literally turning a company from bankrupt to the most valuable company in the world.

My aunt worked with Steve at Apple during early 2002. She said she was terrified of Steve and so were her colleagues. My aunt admired his visions but absolutely hated working with him.

That last line was absolutely beautiful!

That last line gave me literal chills-makes sense now

GOOD 60 minutes archive that taught me so much about this great man: very rich, but not materialist and quite simple man, simple house and simple family life. I would suggest everyone to watch this and learn about him. Interesting man with an wonderful mind.

Steve Croft was such a hard-nose, no-nonsense reporter. Something 60 minutes today needs more of with their newer members.

this showed the iceberg under the cream top, people only usually hear what Steve Jobs did for others but never told the inside struggle we all have to get along with other and achieve our goals

FANTASTIC interview.. I think its great! 🥰

[barak-rocky-giles]

Watching this just made me want to know more about Steve Wozniak.

7:01 "Explain to me how somebody who was a hippie, a college dropout, somebody who drops LSD and marijuana, goes off to India and comes back deciding he wants to be a business man." He was in the right place at the right time. There's no better explanation. There was no other time in history when the beginnings of a far-reaching technology was so accessible that a couple of kids could build in their garage.

People are often mean. Actually woz is an unsung hero.

I personally think Steve Jobs carried a lot of pain inside due to being abandoned by his parents, or rather let me say not wanted by them . The couple that did adopt him were very fine and loving people . However the knowledge of being an unwanted baby I feel was a major propelling factor in his life . It was also the source of his anger his meanness and his frustrations.
Steve Jobs was a very complex man . He proved to be a good husband and a very loving father to all his children, even to the beautiful little girl he would not acknowledge for 10 years . The point is he finally did and he loved and embraced her completely . He was a marketing genius and a true visionary . R.I.P. Steve Jobs .
Steve Jobs together with Steve Wozniak, a genius of another kind, created History .

Jobs was a product of perfect circumstances. The good and bad, combined with a deep human desire to understand why and seeing opportunity in areas most people couldn't

[kimberlykay]

Imagine how much more advanced and innovative technologies would continue to grow today if Steve Jobs is still here in this world.

[lukesky]

Damn. Almost teared up. I think he needed someone who was an excellent interviewer to extract more info. His way of thinking shows little windows into deeper things.

Wozniak, in an interview a few years ago, said:
“Steve Jobs played no role at all in any of my designs of the Apple I and Apple II computer and printer interfaces and serial interfaces and floppy disks and stuff that I made to enhance the computers. He did not know technology. He’d never designed anything as a hardware engineer, and he didn’t know software. He wanted to be important, and the important people are always the business people. So that’s what he wanted to do.”

The story about his biological father's restaurant is absolutely nuts.

[mjay]

I like how he goes from Ashton Kutcher in the 80's to Stanley Tucci in the 2000's.

[natzz]

So heartwarming to read all these positive messages. God bless you all.

That last part....the very last statement in this video....was the most profound 💯
