Question

3. Explain how a random calligraphy class that Jobs took at Reed College in the 1970s impacted the way you create documents today. What is Jobs’ larger point in telling the audience about the calligraphy class?

Answer 1

Steve Jobs talks about this class because it had a big impact on his company and even more in the types we use in any kind of computer. He mentioned how he didn't think that class could have any kind of importance for him, and after attending to it he discovered how fascinating, artistical and impressive caligraphy was. Ten years later while designing his first computer he remembered this calligraphy class and applied all that he had learned into the use of calligraphy for the creation of its types, which opened new doors to all kinds of computers at the end he said that we should live and take new experiences because we don't really know where they may take us in the future.
