The whole interview was fascinating, but what I found most interesting was when he was talking about a "post PC world" (as in post desktop/laptop). He envisioned a world in which 95% of casual computing was done on a tablet or phone.
He said PCs would still be there for work, but most consumers won't own one, just like all vehicles used to be trucks, until people moved to cities and switched to cars, and now some people use trucks but most people use cars.
The other really interesting part was when he talked about the need for paid journalism, and how he "doesn't want to live in a society that's just bloggers". Even a decade ago he could see the danger in most people getting their news from un-curated, un-vetted content.
