If I could speak to anybody in English

I'll assume that I could speak with someone that already died.

I would talk with Steve Jobs.

Jobs was a controversial figure, love him or hate him, but you can't ignore him. I know little about his life. I don't agree with some of his decisions, but it's undeniable that he made history.

There's a lot of histories about how he changed the world, my personal favorite is how he changed how we write. In 1975 he took a calligraphy class at Reeds College after dropping out. It wouldn't help him get a degree, but he did any way, because he was intrigued by gorgeous posts in the campus.

In his calligraphy class, he learned how different types of letters changed how we perceive the message. If a doctor has a visit card with a childish, comical or unprofessional font (e.g. Comic Sans), it's hard to take him seriously. After learning the usefulness of calligraphy, he got back to his journey as a entrepreneur. Years later, when the first Macintosh came out, it came with a wide range of fonts to choose from.

The advent of personal printers combined with digital fonts in the Macintosh started a revolution, anyone with a computer and a printer could create their own magazines, books, and posters. The influence of Jobs in typography was subtle, but it revolutionized how we tell our stories. If you are reading this, he changed your life tremendously.

Besides typography and digital printing, he also impacted marketing, product design, technology, innovation, and music. That's why, if I could talk to anyone in English, I would like to speak to Steve Jobs.

"Stay hungry, stay foolish." - Steve Jobs

If you could talk to anyone, who would it be?

Thank you for reading. Have a great day.

I really liked your post. I didn't know about Steve Job's history, and it's interesting to realise how he's made such an impact on society.
