  • Steve Jobs' hero Buckminster Fuller thought Apple II was a toy

    PatRavasioPatRavasio
    Buckminster Fuller certainly did predict the handheld technology we have now. In my 1982 two-day interview with him, the amazing Bucky told me that one day soon, we’d wear a communication device on our wrist that would enable real time democracy. You’ll wake up and have a list of things to vote on, he said. He knew this would be the result of technological ephemeralization, doing more and more with less and less. 

    Bucky gets portrayed as complicated by people who don’t understand what he was really all about. His number one contribution to humanity was to decipher and pass on the basic design principles of nature. He did this in his book Synergetics. The newly discovered molecules called Fullerenes are proving him more and more prescient and anticipatory. This knowledge is pivotal to our future as a species because it can help us realign with nature. This is what any conversation about Bucky should be about. It’s what’s most critical.
