Public Speaking Outline - Steve Jobs
I. Introduction
A. Attention Getter: How many people in this room own or have owned an IPod, IPhone, or IPad? Isn’t astounding how one man’s vision and innovation gave us all devices that have made the world today more connected than it’s ever been? Devices we NOW can’t imagine leaving behind when we walk out the front door in the morning. Whether it’s listening to music in your bedroom, reading the news on the train ride to work, checking your email at home or even sitting in a waiting room watching Netflix. It’s hard to deny the influence and impact that Steve Jobs has had on modern culture.
B. Reason to Listen: My name is Eduardo Salazar and like many of you I too can’t live without technology and though my personal devices haven’t always been Apple products. More often than not if the device I was using wasn’t an apple product it was inspired by an apple device.
C. Thesis Statement: Today I will be talking about how Steve Jobs revolutionized the way the world uses and incorporates technology in their everyday lives and how it has impacted modern culture.
D. Credibility Statements:
1. Like many of you, technology plays a very important role in my life and sometimes I don’t even realize how much of a role it plays UNTIL I look back and notice that I don’t sit at a computer desk anymore typing my papers, I just flip open my macbook or how I don’t flip open my phone anymore to answer calls I just slide my finger across my IPhone screen
2. After doing extensive research into Steve Jobs contributions to the tech space I would like to share what I’ve learned with you.
E. Preview of Main Points:
1. First, I will describe Steve Jobs’ introduction of the IPod and how it revitalized Apple’s product line and made the digital music market what it is today.
2. Second, I will examine Jobs’ transition into the mobile phone market with the creation of the world’s first user-friendly smartphone. The IPhone.
3. And lastly, I will discuss Apple’s huge overhaul of the tablet
