"Steve Jobs" - Chautauqua History Comes Alive Festival

Steve Jobs, portrayed by Jeremy Meier

“Think Different” was no grammatical error. The slogan was intended to inspire a mindset in the same way one might say “think big” or “eat smart.” Steve Jobs sought equal parts beauty, function and simplicity of design. A zealous perfectionist, Jobs tested the boundaries of creative possibility and often the patience of his collaborators.

But consider the impact Job’s ambitious explorations have had in our lives, how we function, communicate and are entertained. In the world of Steve Jobs, stasis would be challenged and excelsior a road map. Home computing, communications, music listening and movie magic were all revolutionized along the way. Jobs wanted to know what was next. He sought this answer for 35 years and fervently investigated possibilities.
