Out of Curiosity Comes Everything

October 5, 2011

“I’m a big believer in boredom,” [Steve Jobs] told me. Boredom allows one to indulge in curiosity, he explained, and “out of curiosity comes everything.” The man who popularized personal computers and smartphones — machines that would draw our attention like a flame attracts gnats — worried about the future of boredom. “All the [technology] stuff is wonderful, but having nothing to do can be wonderful, too.”

Steve Jobs, 1955 – 2011

Curiousity is at the heart of every geek and hacker. One of these, I like to make things, not break them. I like to make things better and send it back to the source. I like being different in such ways as logging in to Facebook Mobile with a text-only WEB browser (w3m) and posting comments to Smarterware.org via Lynx 2.8.7r1.
