Visionary is one of the most frequently used words to describe Steve
Jobs. Nearly a year after he passed away, historians are still digging
up treasures from his life that confirm that assessment.
The Next Web writes of a speech Jobs gave in 1983 at the Center for Design innovation. After that speech, he had a question-and-answer session that covered a wide range of topics, one of which was an incredibly detailed assessment of Jobs' vision for a "computer in a book" that one could learn how to use in 20 minutes.

want to do it with a radio link in it so you don’t have to hook up to
anything and you’re in communication with all of these larger databases
and other computers."
