Desertman84 iGenius:How Steve Jobs Changed the World is an hour-long is a one-hour documentary that was hosted by Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman.This highlighted Apple co-founder Steve Jobs' activities and work in advancing technology and how his contributions to personal computers have changed the way we do things particularly during his years at NEXT,Pixar and his second tenure at Apple Computers.Many journalists, scientists and educators were be interviewed throughout the documentary that included Tom Brokaw, Joe Nocera, Stevie Wonder, Pete Wentz, Daniel Kottke, and John Draper. The documentary is satisfactory in the sense that it focused more into years of Steve Jobs at NEXT,Pixar and his second tenure at Apple.Although it just gave a brief summary of his early years at Apple,I think that many Apple and Mac enthusiasts are more interested in his later years especially when NEXT was producing object-oriented software;Pixar making hit after hit at the box office with movies such as Toy Story; and when he led the resurgence of Apple when it started to release new products such as the iMac,iPod,iTunes and the iPad.At the conclusion,it also briefly touched on Jobs himself before he died of pancreatic cancer and how his health condition did not stop him from being a workaholic.Although it may not be a complete documentary as it skipped his early years at Apple,I still believe that it will still give delight to many people who are interested behind the creative force and the primary reason behind the resurgence of Apple.Also,he is a man of sagacity especially when it comes to making good product.The beauty of this documentary is the fact that it never claims Steve Jobs to be the inventor of all the products that Apple releases but at least,he made the people believe that we needed these products to be a part of our daily life.It definitely talks about Jobs as being a great marketing genius instead of a technical wizard that others perceive him to be.

Tommy Carstensen After having read the Isaacson biography I was hugely disappointed with this documentary. No passion was put into making it. Mr. Jobs would not have liked it. Ten minutes into the documentary Jobs was already being ousted from Apple. I was expecting them to exploit the media and do things, that you can't do with a book. As much as I like Michio Kaku, I don't know, why he was chosen for in-between-comments. A man like Steve Jobs deserves more than 40 minutes. The impression I got after watching this, is that Discovery just raced to do a documentary. Isaacson spent months with Jobs and made a great product. It stands in contrast to this documentary that features interviews with random people and random video clips.
