The Meaning of Jobs’s Struggle for His Achievement as Seen in Aaron Sorkin’s Steve Jobs Script. English Language Education Study Program, Yogyakarta: Sanata Dharma University. This study analyzes Steve Jobs (2015), a movie script written by Aaron Sorkin. The script is an adaptation of the best-selling biography Steve Jobs (2011) by award- winning journalist Walter Isaacson. The movie script tells about the struggle one of the most revolutionary and influential men not just of our time but of all time. This study focuses on Steve Jobs’s struggles to get his achievement. There are lot of obstacles that Steve Jobs has to face. There are two research questions to answer in this study. The first one is “How is Steve Jobs described in the movie script?” The second one is “What is the meaning of Steve Jobs’s struggles for his achievement as seen in the Steve Jobs movie script?” Two data used in this study. The primary one is the Steve Jobs movie script itself. The secondary data are taken from books, journals, texts, and the internet. There are some theories used to answer the research questions: theory of character and characterization; theory of personality; and theory of motivation. In this study, the researcher uses psychological approach. Based on the study, the researcher finds two research findings. The first one, is about the character of Steve Jobs. He is an unique person. As an entrepreneur, he is perfectionist, visionary, brave, and reactive. Those characteristics help Steve Jobs to struggle for his achievement. The second finding is the surface meaning of Steve Jobs’s struggles to get back things that already taken from him. It is about going back to the Apple and get all his popularities back. Meanwhile, the deeper meaning the researcher employs theory of McClelland about human motivation. There are several types of human motivation. Here, the researcher is only uses two motives; achievement motive and affiliative motive. In the achievement motive, the researcher reveals that Steve Jobs’s passion is only for work. Even though he gets failure over again but he work hard to get his highest achievement. In the affiliative motive, the researcher finds that Steve Jobs is need a love. It comes from his personal relationship between him and people around who can support him to get his achievement. In the last part of this thesis, there are recommendations and suggestions. The recommendation is for the future researchers. For future researchers who employ the same movie, the researcher recommends the character Joanna Hoffman’s role to be analyzed. The suggestion is for English teachers. They can use the script as a teaching material to upgrade the student’s skills in writing, speaking, and reading.

The Meaning of Jobs’s Struggle for His Achievement as Seen in Aaron Sorkin’s Steve Jobs Script. Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Yogyakarta: Universitas Sanata Dharma. Penelitian ini menganalisa Steve Jobs (2015), sebuah naskah film ditulis oleh Aaron Sorkin. Naskah ini merupakan adaptasi dari biografi Steve Jobs (2011) karya Walter Isaacson. Naskah film Steve Jobs bercerita tentang perjuangan seorang pria yang paling revolusioner dan berpengaruh sepanjang waktu. Studi ini berfokus pada motivasi Steve Jobs untuk mendapatkan prestasinya. Ada banyak rintangan yang harus dihadapi Steve Jobs. Terdapat dua rumusan masalah yang harus dijawab dalam penelitian ini. Yang pertama adalah "Bagaimana Steve Jobs dideskripsikan dalam naskah?" Yang kedua adalah "Apa arti perjuangan Steve Jobs untuk meraih prestasinya seperti yang terlihat dalam naskah film Steve Jobs?" Ada dua data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Data utamanya adalah naskah film Steve Jobs itu sendiri. Data kedua adalah buku, jurnal, teks terkait, dan internet. Ada beberapa teori yang digunakan untuk menjawab pertanyaan penelitian: teori karakter dan karakterisasi; teori kepribadian; dan teori motivasi. Dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan pendekatan psikologis. Berdasarkan penelitian, penulis menemukan dua hasil dalam penelitian ini. Hasil pertama adalah tentang karakter Steve Jobs. Dia adalah orang yang unik. Ia adalah orang yang perfeksionis, visioner, berani, dan reaktif. Karakteristik tersebut membantu Steve Jobs untuk berjuang demi prestasinya. Hasil kedua adalah makna tertulis tentang perjuangan Steve Jobs untuk mendapatkan kembali hal-hal yang telah hilang dalam kehidupannya. Ini adalah tentang bagaimana Steve Jobs ingin kembali ke Apple dan meraih kembali popularitasnya. Sementara itu, makna yang sesungguhnya, penulis menggunakan teori McClelland tentang motivasi manusia. Ada beberapa jenis motivasi manusia. Di sini, penulis hanya menggunakan dua motif; motif pencapaian dan motif afiliasi. Dalam motif pencapaian, penulis mengungkapkan bahwa ketertarikan Steve Jobs hanya untuk bekerja. Meskipun dia seringkali gagal tetapi dia bekerja keras untuk mendapatkan pencapaian tertinggi. Dalam motif afiliasi, penulis menemukan bahwa Steve Jobs membutuhkan kasih sayang. Hal itu muncul seketika dari hubungan pribadinya antara dia dan orang-orang di sekitar yang dapat mendukungnya untuk mendapatkan pencapaian tertingginya. Di bagian akhir dari skripsi ini, terdapat rekomendasi dan saran. Rekomendasi ini ditujukan untuk para penulis selanjutnya yang menggunakan film yang sama, penulis merekomendasikan karakter Joanna Hoffman untuk dianalisis. Sedangkan saran untuk para guru bahasa Inggris. Para guru dapat menggunakan naskah sebagai bahan ajar untuk meningkatkan keterampilan siswa dalam menulis, berbicara, dan membaca.

  • The Identification and Division of Steve Jobs
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Scott M. Anderson for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Speech Communication, Speech Communication, and English presented on May 17, 2012. Title: The Identification and Division of Steve Jobs Abstract approved: Mark P. Moore On April 1, 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak entered into a partnership agreement to found Apple Computer. In the decade that followed, Apple experienced remarkable growth and success, as Jobs catapulted Apple to the Fortune 500 list of top‐flight companies faster than any other company in history. Under direction of Jobs, Apple, an idea that started in a garage, transformed into a major force in the computer industry of the 1980s. Though Jobs’ leadership undoubtedly influenced Apple’s success during this time, in 1995, he was forced to resign, when conflicts mounted at the executive level. Using Kenneth Burke’s theory of identification and the dramatistic process, this thesis examines Jobs’ discourse through a series of interviews and textual artifacts. First, I provide a framework for Jobs’ acceptance and rejection of the social order at Apple, and then consider the ways in which Jobs identified with employee and consumer audiences on the basis of division. Analysis shows that Jobs identified with individual empowerment, but valued separation and exclusivity. Jobs’ preference to create identification through division, therefore, established the foundation for new identifications to emerge. The findings of this study suggest that division has significant implications for creating unity. ©Copyright by Scott M.

    Hintz 1 Susan Kare: Design Icon by Eric S. Hintz, PhD Historian, Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution [email protected] SHOT SIGCIS – Works in Progress Session Albuquerque, NM October 11, 2015 DEAR COLLEAGUES: Thanks for reading this work-in-progress! I’m a SIGCIS rookie and relatively new to the history of computing. Thus, in terms of feedback, I’d appreciate a) some sense of whether this proposed article would have any traction within the scholarly/SIGCIS community and b) some help situating the story within the relevant secondary literature and historiography. Finally, given the largely non-archival sources I had to work with, I wrote this up more like a magazine feature (vs. scholarly article) so I’d also appreciate c) any suggestions for appropriate journals and publication venues. P.S. This article is ripe for lots of colorful images. Thanks! ESH Graphic designer Susan Kare has been called the “the Betsy Ross of the personal computer,” the “Queen of Look and Feel,” the “Matisse of computer icons,” and the “mother of the Mac trash can.”1 Indeed, Kare is best known for designing most of the distinctive icons, typefaces, and other graphic elements that gave the Apple Macintosh its characteristic—and widely emulated—look and feel. Since her work on the Mac during the early 1980s, Kare has spent the last three decades designing user interface elements for many of the leading software and Internet firms, from Microsoft and Oracle to Facebook and Paypal. Kare’s work is omnipresent in the digital realm; if you have clicked on an icon to save a file, switched the fonts in a document from Geneva to Monaco, or tapped your smart phone screen to launch a mobile app, then you have benefited from her designs.

  • A Film Really About Heroines
    “Steve Jobs”: A Film Really About Heroines Mark P. Barry February 1, 2016 When Steve Jobs died in 2011, his authorized biography was rushed to press, quickly followed by the low-budget, independent film, “Jobs.” Fans of the Apple CEO had to wait until last October for the full Hollywood production, “Steve Jobs,” featuring an A-list cast and team, to reach the big screen. Audiences were disappointed in the film because it bombed at the box office. Expectations surely were for a depiction of Jobs’ stellar technology and business achievements. But the truth is: this movie is more about its heroines than its hero. For her performance in “Steve Jobs,” Kate Winslet won the 2016 Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress and is nominated for an Oscar this year as well. She plays Joanna Hoffman, long-time marketing chief at Apple and “right-hand woman” to its co-founder. Known as the one person who could stand up to the difficult and temperamental Jobs, in the film Hoffman calls herself his “work wife.” Winslet, as Joanna, is the moral center of the movie. Very loosely based on the Walter Isaacson official biography – a book Apple Mark P. Barry and Jobs’ family were not happy with – “Steve Jobs” is written by Aaron Sorkin, who won the 2011 Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for “The Social Network” and this year’s Golden Globe for Best Screenplay for “Steve Jobs.” “Steve Jobs” was lucky to get made. It was originally produced by Sony Pictures, but after North Korea hacked its computers in late 2014, divulging embarrassing executive emails, Universal Pictures acquired the film.

JODI are primarily known for their pioneering work on the World Wide Web, but this exhibition consists entirely of recent video work created by JODI specifically for presentation in a physical gallery space. Led by the ‘tutorial’ aspect of the works shown, the exhibition was constructed as a crash course in (mis)using and (mis)understanding the computer. To further illustrate this theme, JODI and FACT collaboratively curated a selection of documents and artefacts related to the history of the computer, mostly taken from the web, which functioned as a parallel contextual exhibition alongside the artworks. This catalog is released to mark the opening of the exhibition tour at Spacex in Exeter, UK.

    VB. Historia de Apple se niegan a reconocer). Su primer Sistema Operativo, el MS-DOS, muy parecido al UNIX original, fue comprado por una miseria a otra empresa y vendido como propio, entre otros a IBM. Apple (Jobs) sabía que los Mac necesitaban software para ser ser comercialmente rentables, y que Microsoft intentaba hacerse un hueco en el mercado de las aplicaciones, Macintosh era la ocasión de Microsoft de entrar en el lucrativo mercado de las Aplicaciones. Microsoft había hecho algunas débiles tentativas antes del Mac, pero sería con el Mac con quien acertaría, sabían que un nuevo ordenador significaba nuevas oportunidades. Jobs mostró a la gente de Microsoft una de las primeras fases de desarrollo de un prototipo Mac, y a Gates le gustaron las ideas que implicaba un nuevo concepto como este. Jobs y Gates se pusieron de acuerdo en que MS escribiera las nuevas aplicaciones. Justo antes del lanzamiento de las aplicaciones Gates amenazó con abandonar los desarrollos a menos que Jobs cediera en dos puntos: 1. Apple licenciara parte del MacUI (Interfaz de Usuario) para Aplicaciones de MS en PCs (¿Nunca le ha parecido que las aplicaciones en Mac y PC se parecen mucho? Pues no es por que sea la única solución en el universo para interfaces gráficos, es por que se COPIÓ). Estas aplicaciones se convertirían en una Suite de Aplicaciones que crecieron más adelante y evolucionarían al Windows 1.0 y MS-Office. Recordemos que Windows empezó como Application-Suite dentro de DOS, no un Shell de OS. Al licenciar Apple algunos conceptos a Microsoft (bajo coacción), debilitó su caso en contra de MS cuando esta empezó a copiar de forma más evidente a Apple.
