每一個人都有自己小小的童年,然而,人們都是無法選擇自己的出生,無法預知自己的童年??鞓坊虮瘋?,似乎都是命中注定。蘋果之父喬布斯又有怎樣的童年呢?

One course that Jobs took would become part of Silicon Valley lore, the electronics class taught by John McCollum, a former Navy pilot who had a showman's flair for exciting his students withsuch tricks as firing up a Tesla coil. His little stockroom, to which he would lend the key to pet students, was crammed with transistors and other components he had scored. McCollum's classroom was in a shed-like building on the edge of the campus, next to the parking lot. "This is where it was," Jobs recalled as he peered in the window, "and here, next door, is where the auto shop class used to be." The juxtaposition highlighted the shift from the interests of his father’s generation. "Mr. McCollum felt that electronics class was the new auto shop."
喬布斯聽的一門課日后成為了硅谷傳奇的一部分,這就是約翰麥克勒姆教授的電子學。約翰以前是海軍飛行員,他像個雜耍藝人般,通過各種小把戲來激起學生的興趣,比如讓特斯拉線圈產(chǎn)生電火花。他會把自己儲藏室的鑰匙借給他寵愛的學生,這個小儲藏室堆滿了晶體管之類的零部件。他有一種其普先生般的魔力,可以給學生解釋清楚電子學原理,并把原理聯(lián)系到實際應用中,例如怎樣將電阻和電容串聯(lián)和并聯(lián),然后用這些知識來制作放大器或者無線電設備。 麥克勒姆的教室在校園邊緣一座廠房模樣的建筑里,緊鄰著停車場。“就在這兒,”喬布斯凝視著教室的窗戶說,“隔壁就是以前的汽車修理課教室。”這樣一種空間上的并列關系也突出了他們這一代與父輩那一代在興趣上發(fā)生的轉變?!胞溈死漳废壬X得電子學就是新的汽車維修?!?/div>
