This world is designed to favor the elderly. Gaining experience through trial and error first means that you have a competitive advantage over latecomers. It also occupies an advantageous position in social organization. This is the advantage that arises from being the first to start. However, the statement that 1 plus 1 equals 2 can be understood without any experience; it serves as an analytic proposition that can be known by reason compared to the aforementioned experiential proposition. In other words, in the realm of analytic propositions, the advantage of being older does not hold much weight. The world needs both experiential propositions and analytic propositions, but experience is not always essential. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The most important thing in product design and development is “imagination.” While others developed laptops to fit the size of the battery, Steve Jobs imagined a laptop that could fit in an envelope. Then he pressured the battery company. If no technology was available in those days, he would wait. He traveled around the world in search of technology that matched his imagination. He envisioned putting a workstation (OS•X) in a cellphone and developed it for 3 years, but when Apple couldn’t deliver, he demonstrated it by connecting it to a separate workstation. It was a scam, but no one criticized him. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
