Speaking to 17-year-old budding designer Anna Zanelli in London, he explains how his love of DJing inspired his iconic creation. And, he tells her, the design would go on to transform how we talk to each other, with the launch of the iPhone. #WorldWiseWeb Producer: Tamsin Barber World Wise Web is a co-production between BBC World Service and BBC Rewind. bbc.co.uk/archive Music composed by Nick Thorburn
