36. Jobs are timeless, independent of technology
People, particularly students and young people, wanted
to pass notes and messages, without fear of other people
seeing them…
People wanted to store photos in a safe place, like the
shoe box under the spare bed…
People wanted to collect scrapbooks of ideas, for home
renovations or other projects…

the product becomes much more obvious.
It also makes it more clear who your competitors
are, and what your opportunity is.

purpose, is what frees you to build great
products.

90. Eddie Cue :
“There are things people can tell us and there are
things they can’t. Both are really important but
one of the dangers is to only do things people tell
you to do. To innovate you have to look beyond.
We used to say that we get paid to look around
corners.”
97. “That’s why most companies decay
slowly over time. They tend to do
approximately what they did
before, with a few minor changes.
It’s natural for people to want to
work on things that they know
aren’t going to fail. But incremental
improvement is guaranteed to be
obsolete over time.”
