A master showman, Steve Jobs's public presentations were often sprinkled with a fair share of humor.
Steve Jobs was a consummate showman, announcing new products with a flair and genuine enthusiasm that is rarely seen in tech. What made Jobs’s product announcements so great is that you really got the distinct impression that Jobs himself firmly believed in what he was saying. When he said the iPhone was like magic, he wasn’t kidding around. That’s how he really felt. In short, Jobs was a master showman precisely because he was human. He wasn’t reading a marketing script or taking notes from HR; he was simply being himself and excitedly talking to the masses about the latest and greatest from Apple.
