計算機行業(yè)的再沒有人能像喬布斯那樣做秀了。他的產(chǎn)品發(fā)布會就像是表演大師的演出。他曾經(jīng)解釋道，電腦所做的無非是處理數(shù)據(jù)，但是處理得足夠快就會讓“結(jié)果看起來像魔法一樣”。他用畢生的時間將這樣的魔法包裝融入到設(shè)計優(yōu)雅、使用簡單的產(chǎn)品之中。他所做的比這個星球上其他任何人都多，決定了我們看什么電影，如何聽音樂以及工作和娛樂的方式。A-Trans-2早在20世紀(jì)70年代，喬布斯等人率先看到向普通人銷售計算機的潛在可能性。在那個計算機還是黑屏綠字的顯示器、軟盤依然很軟的時代，計算機也許很快普及的想法聽上去像是異想天開。但是喬布斯是為數(shù)不多的能預(yù)見行業(yè)未來的先行者。關(guān)鍵是，他能站在用戶的角度考量計算機的外在，而不只是以工程師的角度評價計算機的內(nèi)在，這是他的過人之處。喬布斯將此歸因于自己不羈的青年時代。ReadingAA-Trans-3

喬布斯在硅谷長大并瘋狂迷上計算機。上世紀(jì)60年代末，年少的喬布斯進(jìn)入惠普公司打暑期工。在經(jīng)歷大學(xué)輟學(xué)、印度旅行以及成為佛教徒種種事情之后，喬布斯回到加州，在1976年4月1日愚人節(jié)那天在父母的車庫里與人合伙創(chuàng)辦了蘋果公司。ReadingAA-Trans-4

放棄大學(xué)課程轉(zhuǎn)而學(xué)習(xí)書法讓喬布斯對印刷排版產(chǎn)生了看似無用的熱情。但是后來事實證明支持不同字體是麥金塔電腦的主要特征。由于麥金塔電腦具有視窗、圖標(biāo)和菜單功能，其銷售口號是“為非專業(yè)人士服務(wù)的電腦”。喬布斯從蘋果的首次成功大獲其利后，期待他的新機器有天文數(shù)字的銷量。但是麥金塔電腦并未在大眾市場上獲得成功，喬布斯本人也被蘋果董事會掃地出門。ReadingAA-Trans-5

然而這個貌似災(zāi)難的事件最后卻轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)橐患沂?。他與別人合作新開了專門制作電腦圖形圖像的皮克斯公司，以及另一家制造電腦的NeXT公司。1996年，喬布斯重返蘋果，將NeXT的技術(shù)運用到一系列蘋果新產(chǎn)品的核心領(lǐng)域。蘋果公司推出了iMac、iPod、iPhone和iPad，成為全世界市值最高的上市公司。當(dāng)喬布斯因健康問題不得不離開蘋果公司掌門人的位置時，他被譽為歷史上最偉大的首席執(zhí)行官。ReadingAA-Trans-6喬布斯是一個超越其時代的人。計算機的早期發(fā)展是由技術(shù)精英所主導(dǎo)的。但他對設(shè)計和操作簡易的重視使他獨占優(yōu)勢。當(dāng)今世界，電腦已經(jīng)成為時尚產(chǎn)品，無所不能，典雅、簡潔以及對其他領(lǐng)域的理解就顯得尤為重要。喬布斯iPad2的發(fā)布會上的演講中說道：“只有技術(shù)是不夠的。唯有當(dāng)技術(shù)與人文科學(xué)相結(jié)合，與人性相結(jié)合時，它才會產(chǎn)生讓我們的心靈歌唱的產(chǎn)品。”

視頻會議

吉姆．斯瑪特，埃森哲公司的主管，當(dāng)她第一次踏進(jìn)位于芝加哥的新視頻會議辦公室，與遠(yuǎn)在倫敦的同事一起開會時，心存疑慮。斯瑪特女士回憶道，這種被稱為遠(yuǎn)程呈現(xiàn)的視頻會議技術(shù)給人如此真實的感覺，以至于“過了10分鐘，你就忘了你跟他們不在同一個房間”。B-Trans-2ReadingB埃森哲這家技術(shù)咨詢公司已經(jīng)在全球安裝了13間視頻會議室并計劃在年底前再投入使用22間。埃森哲估算，使用虛擬會議，它的顧問們僅在五月就省去了240趟國際旅行和120趟國內(nèi)飛行，一年可節(jié)約上百萬美元，并免除了員工們無數(shù)個小時的飛行之苦。B-Trans-3ReadingB隨著旅行費用提高，航空公司縮減服務(wù)，大小公司都在重新考慮現(xiàn)場會議以及員工出差的問題。與此同時，技術(shù)的發(fā)展到經(jīng)濟(jì)實用的階段，采用移動數(shù)字技術(shù)比人員奔波更有成。分析家說，當(dāng)前日益顯現(xiàn)的趨勢遠(yuǎn)不止是如何應(yīng)對日漸增長的旅行費用和節(jié)節(jié)衰退的經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢。這些技術(shù)手段將從根本上改變企業(yè)對出差和工作的觀念。B-Trans-4ReadingB

最經(jīng)常旅行的一般是管理顧問、投資銀行家、會計、律師和技術(shù)服務(wù)顧問這些人。他們的很多工作都要和客戶面對面地進(jìn)行。但是他們在公司內(nèi)部也開始更多地使用在線協(xié)作工具。

許多公司使用在線方式的另外一個領(lǐng)域是企業(yè)培訓(xùn)和教育，部分出于減少旅行成本的考慮。一位客服培訓(xùn)經(jīng)理估計，早前6個月內(nèi)她接觸220人，成本為每人300美?，F(xiàn)在每6個月就能接觸2500人，成本為每人75美分，而現(xiàn)在所有的培訓(xùn)都是在線完成的。B-Trans-5ReadingB

既然遠(yuǎn)程呈現(xiàn)的一切努力都是為了模仿人們最豐富的互動方式：彼此面對面地交談，這種方式自然還有其矛盾之處。

這當(dāng)然不是一個完美的替代品。埃森哲公司的人力資主管斯瑪特女士一個月仍然要出差10天左右?！澳阍谶h(yuǎn)程呈現(xiàn)中不能了解其他文化?！彼f，“你到達(dá)那里，收獲良多。你可以通過早餐、晚餐這些場合面對面地建立起人際關(guān)系。”B-lifelikeReadingB-LanguagePoints
