“Let us make a dent in the universe.” – Steve Jobs

From “The Human Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
4 December
The Model T, introduced to the world in 1908, was revolutionary for its day. Until then, cars were hand-crafted and very expensive; the Model T was the first car produced on an assembly line, and Ford marketed it not to the rich but rather to the middle-class. Here’s how he introduced it: "I will build a car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for the individual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, and to the simplest design that modern engineering can devise. But it will be so low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God's great open spaces."

That’s called a vision.
