Watching the original iPhone launch event with the next generation.
It’s hard for kids to imagine a world where smartphones don’t exist, especially if they were born after 2012.
The original iPhone event in hindsight is quite funny to watch and even condescending to kids because Steve Jobs was explaining how to use a multi-touch screen, something that was science fiction in 2007 for most people, yet is as natural as air in 2024.
It’s funny to just watch your kids reacting to people being oohed and aahed by something they take for granted.
Three of my favorite clips of the original launch:
“And to unlock the phone I just take my finger and slide it across.”
