Phrases in this episode: I grow little of the food I eat and of the little I do grow, I did not breed or perfect the seeds. I do not make any of my own clothing. I speak a language I did not invent or refine I did not discover the mathematics I use. I am protected by freedoms and laws I did not conceive of and did not legislate and do not enforce or adjudicate I am moved by music I did not create myself. When I needed medical attention, I was helpless to help myself survive. I did not invent the transistor the microprocessor object oriented programming or most of the technology I work with I love and admire my species, living and dead I am totally dependent on them for my life and well being. Steve Jobs, September 2nd, 2010
