“When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.” YearsMadeWholeEarthFormYoungGenerationsComputerLateToolsCamerasFellowsNotionBrandsParksPoeticPublishingGoogle1960sNeatPublicationMy GenerationTypewritersIdealisticScissorsStanford UniversityDesktopPersonal ComputersPolaroidsAmazing JobDesktop Publishing Author:Steve Jobs
