Jobs was far too obsessed with simplifying high-technology to have considered a non-tech physical product. But in reducing a product and its purpose to the simplest form, I think he would have agreed that high-tech is not always the answer. “I love it when you can bring really great design and simple capability to something that doesn’t cost much,” he said as he pointed out the clean elegance of the [Eichler-style homes]. “It was the original vision for Apple. That’s what we tried to do with the first Mac. That’s what we did with the iPod.” http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/how-steve-jobs-lo... |

I'd have to agree that if still alive there's no way SJ veer from the path of high-tech. Part of me does wonder however how this would be different if he had been born 30 years later. Being the rebel that he was known for at times, I wouldn't be surprised if the company he'd be starting as a 20 year old in this day in age, would indeed be a lo-tech focused company.
Who knows, maybe starting a company wouldn't even be the "Steve" thing to do right now.
